Referring to the now-abolished colonial-era Dramatic Performance Act, Modi said, “I am surprised by the ‘Lutyens’ Jamaat’ and ‘Khan Market Gang’ that they have been silent for this many years.

“Britishers brought a law—the Dramatic Performance Act—150 years back… This act was there even after 75 years of independence. It means if more than 10 people are dancing during a wedding, the police could arrest them along with the groom. Our govt abolished that law. I have nothing to say to govt of that time and the leaders…,” he said.
The PM stated that the same people would have reacted aggressively had he brought such a law.
The prime minister also highlighted India’s growing stature in the world and its role in shaping global affairs, pointing to the country’s participation in several Global Summits.
“India is leading many Global Summits. Recently, I got the opportunity to attend the AI Summit in France. India was the co-host of the AI Summit – that will take the world forward; now it’s India’s turn to host the Summit.
