Former JNU student leader Shehla Rashid, once a strong critic of the BJP-led government, has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as a "selfless man" working in the national interest.
In an interview with ANI, Rashid commended Prime Minister Modi for making radical decisions despite facing criticism and acknowledged the well-intentioned administration.
Rashid stated, "Right now, we see a really well-intentioned administration. The Prime Minister — he doesn't care about criticism. He has taken so many radical decisions, even at the cost of his popularity. He doesn't care about criticism. He is a selfless man who works for the national interest."
Rashid said, "All of those things, somebody needed to break the ice, and for that, I would like to credit the present government, especially the Prime Minister and the Home Minister."
This marks a notable shift in Rashid's perspective from her previous criticisms of the government's decisions.
