Narendra Modi! It is essential to remind you that those who forget history are often reminded of it by history itself. The blood of innocent Muslims that flowed on the streets of Gujarat may be wiped from the pages of official records, but it will never be erased from the conscience of humanity. Listen, Modi! You stand on the ashes of Gujarat, and your identity remains unchanged—just as it was exposed before the world during those dark days. You are the same person whose hands are stained with the blood of Muslims. You are the same person who was banned from entering the United States because of your actions and was unable to appear on any major international forum.
Today, you are the Prime Minister of India, yet your thinking has not evolved beyond that of the “Butcher of Gujarat.” Under your leadership, the largest minority in India—the Muslims—feels unsafe and marginalized. Your words, your policies, and the leaders of your party are all engaged in spreading hatred against minorities. Is this your so-called “New India”? A place where only those who follow one religion, one ideology, and one culture have the right to live, and others are stripped of their dignity and right to exist?
You have severely damaged India’s secular and democratic image on the global stage. India was once associated with the ideologies of Nehru and Gandhi, but you have thrown it into the ideological prison of Hindutva. Your ideology is confined to a narrow circle, one that only understands the language of hatred, vengeance, and prejudice. Under your leadership, India’s stature has declined. Not only have relations with neighboring countries soured, but global public opinion is also beginning to view India as an extremist state.
The international media is now exposing the authoritarian tendencies hiding under the shadow of the “world’s largest democracy.” The situation in occupied Kashmir, repeated actions against minorities, restrictions on journalists, curbs on freedom of expression, and state repression against protesters have all cast serious doubts on India’s democratic credentials. Modi Ji, a Prime Minister must possess high moral character, a broad vision, and the ability to unite nations through dialogue. But you lack character, vision, and the strategic wisdom expected of a global leader. Your language is filled with hate, your tone is polluted with arrogance and a superiority complex, and your politics have become a vile tactic to gain votes by fanning the flames of religious bigotry.
If India finds itself globally isolated today, the biggest reason is your leadership. Your approach to foreign relations is confined to threats, belligerence, and disrespect. From spewing venom against Pakistan to undermining ties with Bangladesh, Nepal, China, and Sri Lanka, you have weakened India diplomatically. Under your rule, India has lost the trust of South Asia. Have you forgotten how your party once labeled America’s visa ban on you as an insult to India? But now, even as you appear on global forums as Prime Minister, your speeches and demeanor still reflect the mentality of a tea-seller. There is no shame in selling tea, but it becomes problematic when the limited, prejudiced mindset and experience of a tea vendor are used as the foundation for national and international policy.
Being a Prime Minister is not just about showcasing power—it is a responsibility to carry along every class, every community, every religion, and every nation. Your policies, your speeches, and your thinking fall far short of this standard. You are turning India into a fascist state where hatred reigns supreme. Your current approach also poses a grave threat to India’s internal cohesion. If you continue down this path, India will fragment. Your extremist followers may be temporarily satisfied, but you are dividing the Indian nation. You must realize that the world is changing—nationalistic rhetoric can no longer deceive the global community.
World powers are beginning to recognize India’s true face. Human rights organizations are raising their voices against you. UN reports are exposing the atrocities of your military in Kashmir. European Union parliamentarians are questioning your policies. You are driving India toward global isolation, and your current behavior is turning the world against India. You lead a nuclear power—your every word and action carries global consequences. If your language lacks civility, your decisions lack wisdom, and your leadership lacks tolerance, then you are not only a threat to India, but to the entire region and the world. Remember: power is temporary, but character is eternal. History has already marked you as the “Butcher of Gujarat.”
Under your leadership, India is not only internally compromised but also externally exposed as a double-faced player. On one hand, India harbors and finances terrorists around the world and uses its intelligence agencies to carry out violent actions against Khalistan movement activists in countries like Canada, Australia, and the United States. Governments and intelligence agencies in these nations are now openly raising concerns about India’s interference.
On the other hand, whenever an incident of terrorism occurs in Kashmir—be it in Pahalgam or elsewhere—your government immediately blames Pakistan without any evidence. The question arises: how can a country that itself promotes terrorism in other nations, and continues to orchestrate attacks in Pakistan’s provinces of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, point fingers at others? Modi is not only complicit in supporting terrorism in Pakistan but also in other countries. To cover up his crimes, he uses the global war on terror as a political slogan to gain sympathy and attempts to conceal his deep hatred for Muslims, Kashmiris, and Pakistan by falsely presenting himself as a champion of peace and secularism on the world stage.
The truth is that incidents like the Pahalgam attack are glaring evidence of the failures of Indian security and intelligence agencies. But instead of accepting these failures, the Indian government always invents a foreign scapegoat. This approach is not only a threat to regional peace but also tantamount to deceiving the international community.
