Debate With Arnab: PM Modi Appeals For Austerity, Urges To Put Nation Over Politics

Debate With Arnab: Amid the US–Iran war and soaring crude prices, PM Modi has urged Indians to revive work from home, avoid buying gold for a year and skip foreign trips to save fuel and precious foreign exchange. Supporters call it a genuine “Nation First, duty above comfort” war‑time appeal. Critics like Rahul Gandhi call it “proof of failure” and question why the public must sacrifice while the government escapes scrutiny. Is this patriotism, panic, or politics?
