Jammu, Dec 25 (PTI) Actor Anupam Kher today termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surprise visit to Lahore as "an important diplomatic move" and said he is trying to control the situation between the two countries like "a head of a family" would do.
"The way a head of a family controls the situation, in the same way Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to control the situation (between the two nations), it is an important diplomatic move," Kher told reporters during his visit to the Jagti Township of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community in Jammu.
He said Modi has become a target of political parties as he has shown them mirror. "You see one can always feel sad and upset about lot of things that the Prime Minister or anybody is doing, but I think we should also feel happy for lot of things that are happening but unfortunately the Prime Minister has become target of anything that happens in this country."
"If he has taken this move (to visit Pakistan), I think it is like a family head who will take things differently and other people will take things differently," he said.
"But let me say one thing about the Prime Minister that he is a kind of a leader who has shown mirror to every politician, a mirror which tells them that they are not as hardworking and sincere towards the country as he has been," he said.
He said that those who say that Prime Minister has gone to Pakistan to celebrate the birthday of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, they should also mention that he had celebrated Diwali with the soldiers on the border.
In a major surprise, Modi flew to Lahore this afternoon, his first touchdown in Pakistan, to meet Sharif.
