New Delhi, March 17 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi met United States' Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard in the national capital on Monday evening and presented her a vase containing jal (holy water) from the recently concluded Mahakumbh in Prayagraj.

Gabbard is in India as part of her multi-nation visit. The Asia leg of her trip will conclude with an address on March 18 at the Raisina Dialogue, a multinational gathering of security officials in Delhi, to which PM Modi invited her.

The meeting with the Prime Minister followed a discussion with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, where Singh raised concerns over anti-India activities conducted by the banned Khalistani organisation Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) in the US.
