Prime Minister Narendra Modi's day three in the UK was eventful. The day began with meeting Mr. Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the UK Labour Party.

Later in the day, the Prime Minister unveiled the statue of Basaveshwara in London. Shri Modi said that the statue would be an inspiration for all those who believe in democratic ideals and humanity. The Prime Minister described Basaveshwara as a great philosopher and social reformer, who had fought against social evils of his time, and worked for the strengthening of democracy at the grassroots.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said he was deeply pained by the terror attacks in Paris yesterday. He said this was not just an attack on the people of France, but on all of humanity, and the time had come for all humanitarian forces from across the world to unite to fight this global menace. He said it was imperative that the United Nations finalises a definition of terrorism.

Basaveshwara Statue unveiled today will be an inspiration for those believing in democratic ideals & humanity.
