Hina Khan Defends PM Modi Amidst Middle East Turmoil
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, March 2 (NationPress) Actress Hina Khan is responding to the backlash from critics who condemned her for endorsing PM Modi during the ongoing political and military turmoil in the Middle East.
On Monday, the actress posted a collage on her Instagram that juxtaposed PM Modi with a child playing on the streets.
She stated, “Those who can't even manage their own affairs have the audacity to question someone who is leading such a vast nation. Audacity, Guts, Irony! Jai Hind.”
One user commented on her post, questioning whether it is inappropriate to hold the government accountable, a right protected by the Indian Constitution.
The user remarked, “Wow, Hina Khan, are you suggesting that the public should remain silent and accept the government's flawed policies? I did not anticipate such a post from you.”
Another user added, “I’m unsure of your perspective, but questioning the government is our right.”
A third commenter wrote, “The one who has not been honest about her own faith, the woman who body-shames others while considering herself a major star, will lecture us? Audacity. Guts. Irony.”
This tweet comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East following Israel’s strikes on Iran, which resulted in the death of its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. The region is experiencing severe bombings and missile attacks as Iran retaliates with escalated strikes against US bases located in Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.
Some factions in India have criticized PM Modi for not publicly addressing the situation regarding Ali Khamenei.
This scenario is drawing closer to a potential World War, reminiscent of the last major conflict witnessed nearly eight decades ago. The situation is deteriorating as UK aircraft conduct defensive exercises over Middle Eastern airspace.
