Modi also responded on Facebook to thank Mark Zuckerberg for the invite "I thank Mr. Mark Zuckerberg for the invite to visit the Facebook HQ. I look forward to the Townhall Q&A on Sunday 27th September at 10 PM IST (9:30 am Pacific time)," PM wrote on Facebook. He also invited questions from the people for the town hall session. "This programme will be incomplete without your participation! Share your questions on Facebook. I urge you all to share your questions on the 'Narendra Modi Mobile App.' Your questions will make this a programme to be remembered. The interaction will cover a wide range of issues and will surely be a memorable one."
The San Francisco event will be webcast live on the Facebook profiles of both Modi and Zuckerberg. The Facebook CEO also referred to his last meeting with Modi in New Delhi and said, “I had the chance to visit Prime Minister Modi in India last year and it’s an honor to have the chance to host him here at Facebook." He also posted a picture of that meeting.
