Opposition slams Modi seven appeals as economic failure repackaged as BJP calls it self defence

The row turns on one term: self defence

A new political storm erupted after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “seven appeals” urged steps to shield India’s economy from the worsening West Asia crisis. BJP framed the move as “economic self-defence,” but Opposition leaders accused it of repackaging failures. The debate quickly became a battle over responsibility, messaging, and economic preparedness as tensions abroad intensify.
