ISLAMABAD: In a bold statement, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has taken aim at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s international reputation.

Asif claims Modi’s standing is deteriorating after claims of defeat in a war with Pakistan and scrutiny over awards he received.

He posted on X that labeling him mentally unstable won’t solve these issues.

According to Asif, even Indian politician Rahul Gandhi has voiced doubts about the authenticity of awards bestowed upon Modi.

The Defence Minister implied these awards may be artificially generated to bolster Modi’s image as a global leader.

Asif accused Modi of desperately importing accolades from abroad to mend what he sees as a shaky reputation at home.

International scrutiny appears to support Asif’s claims.

The Guardian, a reputable newspaper, has reportedly questioned the legitimacy of these awards.

This scrutiny adds weight to Asif’s assertions of Modi being a “global con man.”

Such accusations underscore the strained relations between the two nations.

Neither Modi nor official Indian channels have responded to these claims yet.

Rahul Gandhi’s participation suggests a potential political rift within India as well.

This controversy could influence regional diplomatic dynamics.

Observers will be closely watching Modi’s next move in response to these allegations.

Whether Modi can address such critiques without further controversy remains to be seen.

This is a developing story.
