"Only CM Modi can question PM Modi", say netizens as old video of him on terror lapses resurfaces

Mumbai: An old video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, filmed during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister in 2012, has gone viral, showing him sharply questioning then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over border security lapses that allowed terrorists to enter India. The clip is circulating widely on social media in the wake of the recent terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
“Where do these terrorists and naxalites get their ammunition? It comes from foreign lands, yet you control our borders—so at least secure them properly,” Modi questioned while addressing a rally at the BJP National Executive Meet in Mumbai. He urged the government to focus on what it could control, specifically stopping the flow of goods from abroad that ultimately arm terrorists.
“Can’t the Prime Minister even supervise the flow of funds that reach terrorists through hawala channels from foreign countries into India?” the then Chief Minister—now Prime Minister—asked in the clip, which has garnered over 100,000 views. He emphasised that this responsibility rested with the Prime Minister.
He went on to ask how, despite the Prime Minister’s authority over coastal security and the Navy, such individuals could still infiltrate the country, insisting that the Prime Minister must address these lapses.
“The Government of India controls all communications, including telephone and email. They can intercept these channels to monitor terrorist use and prevent attacks,” Modi said, adding that he had raised this question with the Prime Minister but had not received an answer.
Netizens were quick to point out what they see as a double standard: the current Prime Minister has neither held a press conference nor taken responsibility for the security lapse since the Pahalgam attack. One user dismissed the discrepancy with “Bipolar disorder,” while another quipped, “Modi is present in all dimensions; he controls parallel universes and questions himself; he has the ability to transform both as interviewer and the interviewee!”
Another commenter contrasted Modi’s record as Chief Minister—when he freely grilled the Prime Minister—with his current approach: asking probing questions then but refusing to field any now.
