Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a terrorist.

Addressing an election rally in Tamil Nadu a day earlier, Kharge launched strong criticism against Modi, stating that the “journey of humiliation and disgrace” that began with the alleged Pahalgam false flag operation is still ongoing.

He remarked that Modi is a “terrorist” because, according to him, his party does not believe in equality and justice.

Kharge also referred to the Pahalgam incident last year, criticising Modi and describing the events of May 6, 2025, as a failure of intelligence agencies.

The Congress leader further claimed that Modi had prior knowledge of the Pahalgam incident, alleging that this was the reason behind the cancellation of his visit to Indian-administered Kashmir.

According to analysts, the labeling of Modi as a “terrorist” from within India reflects growing public resentment against Hindutva ideology. They note that even after a year of the alleged Pahalgam false flag incident, India has not presented conclusive evidence to support its claims. They also argue that due to what they describe as aggressive and extremist policies, Modi has increasingly become a symbol of hatred and terrorism at the international level.
