In a blistering rebuttal, BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha mocked the Congress party’s discomfort with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s diplomatic triumphs during his Israel visit. ‘Whenever India shines on the world stage and our PM gets honored, Congress starts clutching their stomachs,’ Sinha quipped in a pointed interview.
Modi’s trip wasn’t just ceremonial; it was historic. He became the first leader to receive both Israel’s Speaker of the Knesset award—its highest civilian honor—and Palestine’s equivalent top accolade. ‘Such dual recognition is extraordinarily rare,’ Sinha emphasized, suggesting Congress’s criticism stems from an inability to accept these successes.
Turning to Congress’s Pawan Khera, Sinha dismissed his foreign policy jabs as ‘utter nonsense.’ He blamed past Congress governments for delaying strong India-Israel bonds due to hypocrisy, a delay now being rectified under Modi. Both nations battle terrorism, as Modi noted, yet Congress remains silent on condemning the 2023 Hamas assault on Israel.
Sinha shifted to brighter notes, praising Modi’s social media surge. Followers are multiplying at rates unseen outside Bollywood stars, a testament to his 20-year journey of prioritizing India first. This organic growth highlights Modi’s principles resonating worldwide, from diplomatic halls to digital platforms.
Critics may snipe, but facts speak louder: Modi’s era marks India’s ascent, leaving detractors like Congress to grapple with envy amid national pride.
