The twin visits were marked by India’s joint resolvewith the major global powers on a wide range of issues from co-operation inweeding out the menace of terrorism to tackling the issues of tax evasion andblack money, to work for inclusive and sustainable growth, the need toharness renewable energy options and tackle climate change among others.Bilateral meetings with global leaders provided an opportunity to share themutual concerns and pave the way for expanding co-operation in areas suchas ensuring the supply of uranium from Australia to meet the energy needsof India. The visit to UK and Turkey which began with great bonhomie inLondon came in the backdrop of terror attacks in Paris which left over 128people dead on 13th November. Most of the leading national newspaperscarried positive views and analysis on the PM’s visit to UK and Turkey callingthem pragmatic and giving a boost to India’s credibility in the global arena. Afair share of critical and cautious pieces also appeared in the national and theforeign press.The national English and Hindi newspapers gave very wide coverage to thePM’s UK visit with news reports, analysis, and columns commenting on thevarious aspects of the visit. In the run-up to the visit the news items weremostly focused on the possible bilateral deals to be signed between India andUK, the focus on improving economic relations between the two nations andalso on the public address by PM at Wembley. The visit of the PM, first by anIndia PM since 2006, was hoped to breathe new life into the India-UKrelations. India-UK ties in reset mode as Modi flies into London was howHindustan Times reported the highly awaited visit.Coverage on the first day of the PM’s visit in the press was extensive withprime focus on the speech which the PM gave in the British Parliament.

PM Publicity & Reference Unit Press Information Bureauitem which was front paged along with the parliament speech was the over 9billion pound bilateral deals signed between Indian and UK. Of this the civilnuclear deal found special mention in all the newspapers. When Tribunecarried this news as India, UK ink nuclear pact, Indian Express, DainikJagran and other major newspapers covered the news under the headlineNuclear to finance, cities to skills: Modi and Cameron draw out 9-billion-pound roadmap. PM’s address to a business audience at the Guildhall inwhich he wooed the British investors was also noted by the media.PM’s address to the Indian community at Wembley Stadium on the secondday of the UK Visit was frontpaged in most of the national English and Hindinewspapers. PM’s interaction with the businessmen at CEOs forum whereinhe urged them to be part of India’s growth story while assuring themfavourable business regime was widely mentioned in the print. Times of Indiaheadline of this story was No more retrospective taxes, Modi promises UKbusiness. Other than these, the joint press statement between the two PMs,the private tete-a-tete between the two PMs at Chequers, lunch with QueenElizabeth II and the gifts given by PM Modi to British PM and the Queen alsogarnered print space in every prominent newspapers.The third day of the visit, which was after the horrific terrorist attack in Paris,all the newspapers carried the PM’s statement condemning the attack. PM’smessage to the people of France that India is united with France in the hourof crisis figured prominently in the national press.Condemnation of the Paris attack and call by PM for global forces to uniteagainst terror was the highlight of most of the discussions happened on thesidelines of G20 Summit and the informal BRICS Summit at Antlaya, Turkey.PM Narendra Modi terming the BRICS as ‘building responsive, inclusiveand collective solutions’, and his call for drying up the financial sources forterrorist organizations were echoed in all major newspapers. The G20 summitand the interventions made by PM during its working sessions was reportedand acknowledged widely by the press. Prime Minister’s 10 point agenda toweed out terrorism and the 7 point agenda to tackle climate change atthe G-20 Summit figured prominently in the press. PM Modi’s call fordelinking terror and religion, early implement of WTO’s Bali pact to ensure anequitable global trade, completion of the IMF quota reforms at the earliest andthe finalization of the India-Australia nuclear deal were the other noteworthynews which grabbed headlines in the national and regional press.Most of the editorials, opinion columns and analytical pieces in the nationaland regional press complimented PM on his historic UK visit and theleadership role displayed by PM at the BRICS and G20 Summit. Thecomments and edits which analyzed the outcome of the UK visit gave athumbs-up to the PM on the newfound vigor in the India-UK relationship. 10

PM Publicity & Reference Unit Press Information BureauThe PM’s UK visit also received a fair share of criticisms and negative coveragein the Indian press. The protests by various groups in UK against PM Modi’svisit was reported by the Indian newspapers in the run-up to the visit. PM’sUK visit will not be smooth going was the Amar Ujala headline whichdiscussed the ongoing protest marches and the planned agitations on PM’svisit. Concerned about rising climate of fear was the heading under whichthe news of around 200 writers urging UK PM to raise issues of freedom ofexpression and intolerance with PM Modi was reported in Hindustan Times.The same news was carried by Times of India and Financial Express. All majornewspapers including Times of India, Indian Express, Amar Ujala, Mail Todayetc also carried analysis of the critical views of the British media on the PM’svisit.Indian Express carried a critical oped titled Modi in Britain by AlistairMcMillan which said there was little achieved in the UK visit and neither pastdifficulties were resolved nor future opportunities concretized. Anotheranalytical piece in Hindustan Times titled Modi’s Wembley show wasCameron’s gain observed that Modi’s speech had lost its novelty value,become repetitive and attracted mostly Gujarati people.The international press including leading newspapers and agencies such asAFP, AP, Deutsche Welle gave noteworthy coverage to the PM’s UK visit, dealssigned by the two countries, PM’s Wembley speech and also the G20 summit.But in this report an attempt is made to have a detailed look at the negativereports even though the positive coverage of the foreign press far outweighedthe critical reports on the PM’s UK visit.The British press, while acknowledging the importance of India–UK relationsand the hugely successful visit by the Indian PM, also carried some criticalcolumns, edits and news on PM Modi. The Guardian led in this with AnishKapoor in an article titled India is being ruled by a Hindu Taliban calling forholding Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable for rising intolerance inIndia. Earlier the same newapaper carried a scathing piece by Pankaj Mishratitled Narendra Modi: the divisive manipulator who charmed the world.Another report in The Guardian titled Narendra Modi's belated visit toBritain shows where his priorities lie said that UK’s lack of real interest tothe Indian PM is clear, but the belated trip to Britain comes at a useful timefor the visiting leader as at home he is finding the going harder than he mayhave anticipated after his landslide election victory last year. 11
