On Prime Minister Narendra Modi, singer Kailash Kher said, “Modiji bahut pyare lagte hain. Bahut hi gehri aatma hai (He is lovely. He has a deep soul). Never before has our Sanatan dharma, our saints, our mahapurush, our holy places, and our cultural signs got so much respect.”
He then talked about the recent military operation against Pakistan, titled ‘Operation Sindoor’ and the song he sang in association with it, saying, “I sang for the pride of Indians,” he said, adding that it was a moment where singing wasn’t just an artistic choice, but a necessity. He then talked about another of his songs, the one he composed when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secured victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, “There are such moments when if you belong to Delhi and have seen its woes, you would like to sing. The song came from my heart, and it is the duty of an artist to not only sing but also create awareness.”
He further added that not just BJP, but earlier he had sung for Anna Hazare as well, who was then associated with AAP, saying, “No, I did not sing in his (Kejriwal’s) praise. I sang that song for Anna Hazare Ji. I did not even know the man whom you are naming.”
