Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan triggered a controversy after asking if US President Donald Trump could “kidnap” India’s prime minister like Venezuela’s leader. His remark came while criticising high US tariffs on India. Many on social media mocked the comment, calling it absurd. Former Jammu and Kashmir police chief SP Vaid said the statement was humiliating for the country. Critics pointed out that India is a nuclear power and such comparisons are misplaced. Chavan later continued his attack on Narendra Modi over trade issues, saying India must look for new export markets.
