Pappu Yadav: ’Israel America Ka Pithu...Humara Virodhi...’ Siwan MP Sides With Iran, Raises Question on PM Modi's Foreign Policy

Independent MP from Siwan, Pappu Yadav, has stirred political waters by openly criticizing the Indian government's foreign policy, particularly its growing closeness with Israel. In a sharp tweet, Yadav called Iran India’s most trustworthy friend, while branding Israel as “America ka pithu” (America’s stooge) and a consistent adversary of India. 

‘Israel America Ka Pithu… Humara Virodhi…’ Siwan MP 

ईरान भारत का सबसे भरोसेमंद दोस्त देश है
इजराइल अमेरिका का पिट्ठू और हमारा सदैव
विरोधी रहा है

ऐसे में हम ईरान और रूस जैसे मज़बूत सहयोगी
छोड़कर इजरायल जैसे विरोधियों को बना रहे हैं
यार! ये कैसी देशविरोधी विदेश नीति है PM साहब

“ईरान भारत का सबसे भरोसेमंद दोस्त देश है

ऐसे में हम ईरान और रूस जैसे मज़बूत सहयोगी छोड़कर इजरायल जैसे विरोधियों को बना रहे हैं यार!

ये कैसी देशविरोधी विदेश नीति है PM साहब” — Pappu Yadav on X (formerly Twitter) 

Yadav questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic choices

His comments come amid rising global tensions and India's visible diplomatic engagements with Western allies and Israel. Yadav questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategic choices, accusing the government of abandoning long-standing partners like Iran and Russia in favor of nations that have historically opposed India's core interests.

The statement has drawn mixed reactions — while some on social media hailed Yadav’s stand as bold and nationalist, others accused him of oversimplifying international relations and making divisive remarks during a sensitive geopolitical climate.

Yadav’s remarks also highlight a broader debate in Indian politics about balancing global alliances without compromising strategic autonomy. Whether his views influence parliamentary discourse remains to be seen, but they have certainly added heat to the foreign policy narrative.
