KARACHI: Tensions maybe running high between India and Pakistan but seems like so are the slip of tongues. While addressing a gathering at a hospital inauguration in Jamnagar, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ended up referring to Kochi, a city in Kerala, as “Karachi”.

Talking about the benefits of Ayushman Bharat health scheme, Modi said it would allow a resident of Jamnagar to avail treatment anywhere in the country, be it ‘Kolkata’ or ‘Karachi,’ according to Hindustan Times. He then quickly realised his mistake and got it right by saying he meant ‘Kochi’ and not Karachi.

“Not Karachi but Kochi. Nowadays my mind is preoccupied with the thoughts of the neighbouring country,” he said, reported Hindustan Times.

He then instantly move towards the topic of the Indian Air Force strike in Pakistan. “But that (airstrike in Pakistan) was also necessary. Should that be done or not?” he said to an applauding crowd, adding he would not hesitate to strike at the root of the “illness of terrorism” afflicting India, according to Indian Express.

PM Modi mixes Karachi up with Kochi... then quickly issues a clarification that these days Pakistan is on his mind all the time! Veiled warning or a Freudian slip? #IndiaPakistan

@narendramodi confuses Kochi with Karachi. Such is the national imagination of our Prime Minister.
Invoking Karachi in Kerala rally is no joke but to make mass think of war. #NoToWar https://indianexpress.com/elections/gujarat-pm-modi-rally-jamnagar-pakistan-iaf-airstrike-5610596/lite/#click=https://t.co/GwAf390oYQ …

During political rallies his mind is occupied with Pakistan.

But when our soldier's lives are at risk his mind is occupied with #MeraBoothSabseMazboot.#KarachiKochi

Man there is some serious crap in their communications of what they are saying when!

 

[Rusty]

This man is obsessed.

Well, you have to at least admire the consistency of their message. It's helped by a largely 'India friendly international media', 'Western Analysts', and (credit to Indians here) the plethora of Indian and Indian origin journalists and analysts that contribute to Western media. Pretty much all of them swallowed the Indian 'Surgical Strike claims after Uri. It has taken concrete evidence (access to Balakot and sat images) to get the international media to report objectively on the IAF strikes.

Can you imagine the vitriol and insults that would have been directed against Pakistan had the situation been reversed?

 

[El Sidd]

He watches too much of Shahrukh Khan and thus why kkkkkkkkkkkk kabz

 

[Dubious]

O yes...Well, 1 thing for sure, these few days india gave us enough comedy to recycle to last a lifetime!

 

[rambro]

The side effects of being a warmonger, u lose ur sanity.

On the other hand, is the hindu extrimists going to force him to kneel and apologize like they did a professor?

 

[Arsalan 345]

he is under pressure from public.
