‘Modi ji, learn from Rahul’: Shehzad Poonawalla's sarcastic swipe over PM ‘not behaving like a proper dictator’ | Watch
BJP's former spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla posted an Instagram video saying PM Narendra Modi 'is unable to be a proper dictator', sarcastically criticizing Modi for forgiving young protesters.
In the video, Poonawalla referenced Modi's July 31 video where Modi said he forgave protesters who abused him during protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party.
Poonawalla contrasted Modi's forgiving behavior with the Nehru-Gandhi family, citing Rahul Gandhi's ancestors Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru and the 1975-77 Emergency.
He also mentioned the Anna Hazare movement of 2011-12 and recent cases in Congress-ruled Kerala and Telangana over Instagram posts and student protests.
The protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party had pushed Dharmendra Pradhan to resign as education minister.
