Operation Banyan Marsus fear gripped Modi, hands trembled while addressing nation

New Delhi: The impact of Operation Banyan Marsus appears to have left a lasting impression on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose recent address to the nation sparked widespread criticism both at home and abroad.

As Modi appeared on-screen, viewers noticed his visibly trembling hands, a sign many interpreted as the lingering fear of Pakistan’s military response. Despite trying to project strength through harsh rhetoric against Pakistan, the address was seen as weak and disconnected.

Critics claim the speech was pre-recorded and read from a teleprompter, lacking the sincerity and urgency expected during a national crisis. Indian analysts and social media users called the address scripted, uninspiring, and out of touch with ground realities.

Observers noted that instead of reassuring the public, the speech came across as a political manoeuvre to save face, further questioning the credibility and leadership of the Modi administration during heightened regional tensions.
