PM Modi Hailed by ‘Man vs Wild’ Host Amid 2019 Pulwama Attack Row

Bear Grylls, the host of the popular show "Man vs Wild," has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This commendation arrives amidst a lingering controversy that erupted in 2019, shortly after the devastating Pulwama terror attack.

The controversy centered on an episode of "Man vs Wild" featuring Prime Minister Modi, which was filmed around the time of the attack. The opposition Congress party accused the prime minister of continuing the shoot even after being aware of the tragic events unfolding. This allegation suggested a lack of sensitivity during a national crisis.

However, the government and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have vehemently denied these accusations. They maintained that the filming schedule and the prime minister's actions were appropriate and that he was not insensitive to the gravity of the Pulwama attack. Grylls' recent praise for Modi adds another layer to the ongoing discussion surrounding the episode and its timing.
