Taking to her official Twitter handle, Mary Millben said that India has confidence in its leader and lashed out at “dishonest journalism”.
She stressed that the Opposition will “chant loudly without substance” and added that the truth “will always set people free”.
In June this year, Millben met PM Narendra Modi during his visit to the US. She sang India’s national anthem at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington DC where PM Modi addressed the Indian community. After siinging’Jana gana mana’, Mary greeted PM Modi and sought his blessings by touching his feet.
Millben expressed her confidence in PM Modi and and said she was praying for him. She even cited late American civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr’s quote ‘let freedom ring’.
Mary Millben in the tweet wrote, “The truth: India has confidence in its leader. The mothers, daughters, and women of #Manipur, India, will receive justice. And #PMModi will always fight for your freedom. The truth: to associate with a party that dishonours cultural legacy, denies children the right to sing the anthem of its country, and degrades one’s country abroad, this is not leadership. This is unprincipled.”
She further added, “Dishonest journalism will paint false narratives. Opposition voices will chant loudly without substance. But the truth, the truth will always set people free. PM @narendramodi, you have my confidence. I’m praying for you.”
