Congresss wisecrack on PM Modi's 'hugplomacy' leaves BJP enraged

January 14, 2018 19:15

The Congress on Sunday took a witty jibe on Prime Minister Narendra Modis hugging diplomacy with his global counterparts particularly during the PMs foreign visits.

The party posted a video meme in its official twitter handle comprising Modis hugs with Trump, Netanyahu, Macron and Erdogan and termed it as Hugplomacy.

The Twitter meme has captured stills of PM Modis hugs alongwith witty captions such as the titanic hug with ex-president Hollande, the barely there hug with israeli PM Netanyahu, we now pronounce you with crown prince of Abu Dhabi and never let you go hug with Japanese PM Abe. The video ended with the thats enough hugs with US President Trump.

The BJP leadership refuted back in response to the tweet expressing its strong reservations against the meme. The video didnt go down well with Union Ministers Babul Supriyo and Prakash Javadekar. While Supriyo used the terms such as low mentality, Javadekar went ahead to call it political immaturity and an insult to PM Modi and guest Netanyahu.
