New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was all praise for Gen (retd) V.K. Singh, who has faced attack from a section of the media over his “presstitutes” remark, as he hit out at the media for not highlighting the “good works” of his government.
“I salute Gen (retd) V.K. Singh,” Mr Modi said as he hailed the “unprecedented” rescue mission led by the minister for evacuating Indians out of Yemen. The PM also heaped praise on foreign minister Sushma Swaraj for her work.
r Modi was critical of the media for ignoring Mr Singh’s work while newspapers worldwide highlighted the rescue mission. He said that the Indian media took note of it, but due to other reasons — a reference to the criticism of Mr Singh .
“I believe this is the first time in the world that a government minister has stood on the battlefield like a soldier to do this work,” Mr Modi said.
