Former JNU student leader Shehla Rashid, once a strong critic of the BJP-led government, has praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as a "selfless man" working in the national interest.

In an interview with ANI, Rashid commended Prime Minister Modi for making radical decisions despite facing criticism and acknowledged the well-intentioned administration.

Rashid stated, "Right now, we see a really well-intentioned administration. The Prime Minister — he doesn't care about criticism. He has taken so many radical decisions, even at the cost of his popularity. He doesn't care about criticism. He is a selfless man who works for the national interest."

She highlighted the Home Minister's role in ensuring peace in Kashmir and credited the present government, particularly Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, for addressing issues in Jammu and Kashmir and breaking the ice to find political solutions.

Rashid said, "All of those things, somebody needed to break the ice, and for that, I would like to credit the present government, especially the Prime Minister and the Home Minister."

This marks a notable shift in Rashid's perspective from her previous criticisms of the government's decisions.
