New Delhi (Lord Media): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declined to attend the funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. According to Indian media, Modi’s absence is being seen as a reflection of India’s double standards.
India has sent the Governor of Bihar and the Minister of State for External Affairs to the Iranian leader’s burial, prompting significant criticism of Modi within the country.
Indian analysts suggest that Modi aims to avoid displeasing Israel and the United States, hence his decision to skip the event. BJP supporter JD Bakshi also criticized Modi, stating he should have attended personally.
Experts believe Modi’s action highlights India’s duplicitous policy towards Iran, especially as high-ranking officials are part of the Pakistani delegation.
