Bhagwant Mann Says ‘PM Narendra Modi Visits Countries With 10,000 Population, Here 10,000 Gather Just To Watch JCB’, MEA Calls Statement ‘Irresponsible’

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann sparked controversy with a sarcastic jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, mocking his frequent foreign visits. Speaking at a press conference, Mann said, "PM has gone somewhere. I think it is Ghana. He is going to be back and he is welcome. God knows which countries he keeps visiting, 'Magnesia', 'Galveaisa', 'Tarvesia'. He does not stay in a country with 140 crore people. He is visiting countries where the population is 10,000 and he is getting the 'highest awards' there. Here, 10,000 people gather to watch a JCB... What has he gotten himself into!" As his remarks went viral the Ministry of External Affairs swiftly responded, with official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal calling them "irresponsible and regrettable," adding that they "do not behove the state authority." He stressed that the Government of India "disassociates" itself from such unwarranted remarks, which undermine India’s diplomatic ties with friendly nations from the Global South. Punjab Government To Waive Off INR 68 Crore Loan Taken by Over 4,000 Dalit Families, Announces CM Bhagwant Mann.
