Modi will always fight for your freedom: African-American singer Mary Millben backs Indian PM on Manipur issue

"The truth: India has confidence in its leader. The mothers, daughters, and women of #Manipur, India will receive justice. And #PMModi will always fight for your freedom," she wrote on X.

"The truth: to associate with a party that dishonors cultural legacy, denies children the right to sing the anthem of its country, and degrades one’s country abroad, this is not leadership. This is unprincipled," she said.

Criticising the Opposition parties of India, an apparent reference to Congress, and the media, she said: "Dishonest journalism will paint false narratives. Opposition voices will chant loudly without substance. But the truth, the truth will always set people free."

The singer also extended her support to Modi as his government faced a no-confidence motion in the Parliament this week.

Modi-led NDA government has defeated a no-confidence motion, brought by the Opposition, in a voice vote, following a three-day debate in the Parliament.

The vote was reportedly conducted shortly after opposition MPs, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, walked out of the chamber.

At the climax of the three-day debate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Lok Sabha when he targeted the Opposition for walking out of the House.
