Priyanka Gandhi Criticized PM Modi
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was criticized by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday for making a joke about a suicide note.
She said both PM Modi and those who laughed heartily at the joke should educate themselves better rather than “ridicule” mental health issues in an “insensitive” way. The debate started when he remarks on Wednesday at a media channel summit.
PM Modi recalled a joke about a professor who was reading a suicide note written by his daughter and said that, despite his best efforts over the years, she had spelled something incorrectly. The Prime Minister cracked the joke while noting that the channel’s head editor had begun speaking Hindi fluently.
Priyanka Gandhi posted her thoughts on Twitter along with the video and mentioned that ‘Suicide is not a laughing matter.’ She also provided some data while expressing her thought.
PM Modi and “The Live Love Laugh Foundation,” which addresses mental health issues, were mentioned by the general secretary of the Congress.
