Pawan Khera says PM speaking like trolls, compares his statements to Bollywood villains
New Delhi. The Congress on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of responding to sensitive matters like Operation Sindoor with theatrical dialogues reminiscent of Bollywood villains, rather than offering responsible and thoughtful leadership. Senior Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera drew parallels between the Prime Minister’s remarks and the dramatic delivery of veteran actors Paresh Rawal and Prem Chopra.
Khera’s Stinging Critique
Addressing a press conference in the national capital, Khera said, “Mentioning him (PM Modi) in such a serious matter feels like a joke. He is going around different places delivering dialogues like Prem Chopra or Paresh Rawal. He says things like, ‘My blood has sindoor,’ or ‘Roti khao, bullets khao’. Is this the Prime Minister of the country?”
Language of Trolls, Not Leaders
Khera further alleged that PM Modi’s rhetoric sounds like that of social media trolls. “The Prime Minister himself speaking the language of trolls is deeply concerning,” he said. He added that while India was uniting in grief and anger after the Pahalgam terror attack, the ruling BJP was busy engaging in divisive and cheap political tactics.
BJP’s “Low-Grade Politics”
The Congress leader accused the BJP of exploiting the tragedy for communal politics, saying, “Even after such a brutal attack, the BJP continues its low-grade politics. They are targeting Muslims and fueling communal tensions. This is exactly what groups like LeT and JeM want.”
Need for a Serious Response
Khera emphasized that the country needed strong and considered leadership in these challenging times. “We want to know what will happen in the future, and that answer can only come when the Prime Minister stops being inspired by trolls and instead takes these challenges seriously, consulting experts,” he said.
The Congress’ statements reflect growing political tensions in the wake of Operation Sindoor and renewed security threats. While the Centre has yet to respond directly to these accusations, analysts say the discourse highlights a deepening divide in political narratives over national security.
