Modi Can’t Stop Wars, But Can Stop Cricket? Owaisi Exposes the Hypocrisy
Narendra Modi is often projected as the all-powerful leader who can move mountains with a single phone call. Yet, when it comes to issues that actually matter, that power mysteriously disappears. Asaduddin Owaisi’s remarks have opened up a fresh debate: Why is Modi silent on india vs pakistan cricket while pretending helplessness on real global crises?
Here are the contradictions laid bare:
1. Modi Can’t Stop the Russia-Ukraine War
For all the talk of being a “Vishwaguru,” Modi has no real say in one of the deadliest conflicts of our time. India’s words on international stages haven’t ended a single bullet fired in Ukraine. Global peace remains untouched, no matter how many photo-ops are staged.
2. But He Can Stop an india vs pakistan Match
Owaisi’s sting is clear: Modi has the clout to stop a cricket match between india and pakistan with just one phone call. If national security is the excuse, why isn’t he acting? The answer is obvious — nationalism is a performance, not a principle.
3. Nationalists Stay Silent When Modi Fails
When it comes to cricket diplomacy, the so-called “nationalists” don’t dare question Modi. Instead, they throw shade at the BCCI, pretending it’s all formality. It’s convenient blame-shifting, designed to protect Modi’s carefully polished image.
4. Selective Interventions Reveal Political Theatre
From demonetization to sudden lockdowns, Modi has never hesitated to flex power when it suits his narrative. But on cricket with pakistan — an emotive issue for his voter base — he ducks responsibility. Why? Because keeping the outrage alive serves better than actually solving it.
5. The Hollow Nationalism Playbook
Stopping a match won’t end terrorism, just like slogans won’t save soldiers. Yet Modi’s cheerleaders prefer symbolic gestures over real accountability. Nationalism, under Modi, has become less about protecting the nation and more about protecting his brand.
Final Word: Modi’s Power Ends Where His Propaganda Begins
Owaisi has pulled the curtain back. Modi’s image of being “all-powerful” is selective, convenient, and hollow. He can micromanage cricket politics but can’t move the needle on real wars. He can silence dissenters at home but stays mute when global crises demand leadership.
This is not a strength. This is theatre. And the audience is finally beginning to see through the act.
