"I am travelling throughout the world, whether I am going to Canada or Australia or England, wherever I am going, today their party, which is the BJP, and our Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) is praised and they are praised because the work they are doing like the issue of Kashmir (Article 370) is a big issue," he said.
