New Delhi: A video of a Pakistani man living in the UAE in which he is heard admiring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has drawn a lot of attention online.
In the video, the man asserts that he has long experience working with an Indian firm. He lauds Modi’s leadership, and dubs him as the “best PM”. He also underlines his admiration for India’s development and progress, in comparison with Pakistan’s current economic condition.
The man talks about an ambitious infrastructure project aimed at enhancing connectivity in the region. He says that India’s growth under PM Modi showcases a visionary approach, similar to the British perspective of planning for 100 years ahead. The man says that PM Modi’s leadership encourages this kind of foresight and development, requesting viewers to recognise and appreciate the vision Modi is creating for India’s future.
‘Strong presence of Indian businesses in UAE’
The man also highlights the strong presence of Indian businesses in the UAE. He underlines the success of Indian-owned supermarkets, gold markets, and various enterprises that reflect the flourishing Indian influence throughout the region. He also comments on the religious harmony in the UAE, and underlines the presence of temples and gurdwaras as symbols of coexistence between Hindu and Muslim communities — a harmony he contends India also reflects under Modi’s governance.

‘Pray for Mr Modi’

He also commends India for being “the cheapest country in the world” for essentials, exhorting Pakistanis to “pray for Mr Modi” (Unke liye dua karo).
The video was shared on X by user Rishi Bagree and has got over 4 lakh views. The views of the man has evoked mixed reaction.
