Dear Narendra Modi, We Really Need To Talk About Your Hugs

Unless you’ve been floating in space, you’ll know there exists a service like this:

People stand on the road and offer affectionate hugs to random strangers. No questions asked. No money charged. No creepiness involved. 

But do you know the best thing about free hugs? 

Consent!

Ahem, clearly not one of Modi’s areas of interest.

But seriously, Mister Prime Minister, have you ever considered the fact that may be, just may be, the whole world is watching you?

Or that hugging and frisking are two different and completely unrelated things?

Okay, let’s even try to excuse your hugs as a sudden gush of playful excitement. 

But does it really take Pahlaj Nihalani to tell you that the length of your hugs can get really awkward.

Why don’t you, for once, get the fact that world leaders didn’t sign up for this.

Even if it’s their designer suit you’re fixated with.

And since when did groping qualify as affection? 

And how in the name of all that is sanskaari, would you even begin explaining this?

I mean Mister Modi, let’s really not wait for this day to arrive:

Are you even listening?

DUH.
