Its a very good gesture Mr. Modi Ji. If you had any such good intention you must have jotted down the Agendas before your pleasure trips to foreign lands. All you saw you were clapped by Human dolls & came with empty buckets for Indian. Until now now sign of investment by USA or any other. As the oil wealth of Saudi Arabia stumbled, They honestly shown their interest in setting up some profitable Industry.
But the world is so uncertain & the sign of End time slowly gathering its space, what will be the outcome in a decade remain in doubt & darkness,
If the Bush Like human Trump get in to Power, may create another 9/11 incidence to destroy Indo Pakistan in another war & lead to the final end of Countries.
But you have still a little time at hand to be good to all poor Hindu Muslims & earn some piety that ALLAH SWT grant some rain in
unfertilized lands & you can grant soft loans to poor people with
open Good will to reap harvest & stop day day suffering from heavy debts resulting in suicide & self destruction. Act fast if you are honest..
