From Obama to Moon Jae-In, Narendra Modi’s hug diplomacy is a well-established phenomenon.
New Delhi: Rajnath Singh took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi for starting a ‘chipko movement’ in Parliament. The home minister’s taunt came as a response to Gandhi hugging Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha that is debating a no-confidence motion against the NDA government Friday.
“Rahul Gandhi started chipko andolan in Lok Sabha,” Singh told the Lok Sabha.
Singh’s words are ironic considering the Prime Minister is notorious for hugging international leaders, political or otherwise. From former US president Barack Obama to Korean president Moon Jae-In, ThePrint brings you Modi’s ‘hugplomacy’, or should we say international ‘chipko movement’.
