New Delhi’s political circles are buzzing with praise for the strong personal rapport between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu. BJP General Secretary Tarun Chugh hailed Netanyahu’s reference to India as a ‘great friend’ and Modi as ‘brother’ as more than mere diplomatic courtesy. ‘This is a profound symbol of trust and shared values,’ Chugh declared in an exclusive interview.
Highlighting Modi’s global stature, Chugh pointed to the Prime Minister’s recent honor in Israel’s Knesset, marking the 29th such top civilian award from nations worldwide. ‘India is no longer a mere spectator on the world stage; it’s a decisive partner,’ he asserted, underscoring the nation’s rising influence.
Modi’s milestone of 100 million Instagram followers drew special acclaim. ‘On the world’s most popular platform, this achievement shows Gen Z’s deep connection with our dynamic leader,’ Chugh said, positioning Modi among the globe’s most admired and reliable statesmen.
Turning to controversy, Chugh slammed the ‘shirtless protest’ by Youth Congress workers at the India AI Impact Summit in Delhi as a deliberate bid to tarnish India’s international image. ‘Evidence suggests this was a top Congress-orchestrated plot, possibly tied to foreign agendas,’ he charged.
On Himachal Pradesh tensions, Chugh demanded accountability from the state government. ‘Will they shield criminals and misuse democratic processes for politics?’ he questioned, insisting that law must apply equally and vigilantes face justice.
The episode escalated when Delhi Police arrested three Youth Congress activists from Shimla for the protest. A clash ensued as they were transported to the capital, leading to an FIR against Delhi officers in Shimla. This saga spotlights the high stakes of political confrontations amid India’s assertive global role.
