Defence Minister Khawaja Asif says Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is immensely tense due to his pitiably crumbling reputation, both at home and abroad, especially after his defeat in the war with Pakistan.

In a post on X, Khawaja Asif said calling him mentally unstable by Modi will not resolve the problem and coming after him will not restore Modi's reputation.

The Defence Minister said Rahul Gandhi is saying the same thing about the awards given to Modi that they are AI-generated or self-managed to project a global statesman image. He said it has actually enhanced his reputation as a global con man. 

The Minister said even The Guardian, a reputable newspaper, flagged the same issue and questioned the credibility of these awards.  

He said Modi's desperate measures to import fake laurels from abroad are an attempt to stabilize a reputation that is pathetically unstable at home.
