Award-winning international singer Mary Millben has publicly rebuked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after he accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being “frightened of Trump.”
Responding on X, Millben defended PM Modi’s diplomatic approach, calling it strategic and rooted in national interest.
“You are wrong, @RahulGandhi. PM @narendramodi is not afraid of President Trump. PM Modi understands the long game and his diplomacy with the U.S. is strategic. Just as @POTUS will always put America’s interests first, so will PM Modi do what is best for India. And I applaud that,” she wrote.
Millben, who has performed at major global events including those attended by Indian and American leaders, added a sharp personal remark:
“I don’t expect you to understand this type of leadership because you don’t possess the acumen to be PM of India. Best to return to your ‘I hate India’ tour that has an audience of one — you.”
Her comments came after Gandhi posted a list of reasons he believes Modi is “frightened” of Trump, citing India’s decision on Russian oil, cancelled diplomatic visits, and Modi’s silence on the U.S. president’s statements about Operation Sindoor.
In 2023, Mary Millben performed at the concluding event of PM Modi’s three-day US visit where she sang Jana Gana Mana.
Earlier this year, Millben also shared photos of yoga with PM Modi on the International Yoga Day.
