Narrative” is what politicians/hawks build to distract public.

India crushed our team in three straight matches. Mohsin Naqvi, instead of owning up to the disaster, turned it into a trophy handover drama with help from his media cheerleaders.

From Gandhi, Jinnah, Bhutto to Modi & Imran , all, more or less, used the religion card. Nehru was exception. He rather rose as the face of irreligion. Isn’t it making him stand above the rest.
