Norwegian Newspaper Cartoon on PM Modi Sparks Outrage

A major controversy has erupted after a Norwegian newspaper published a cartoon targeting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The cartoon, released by Aftenposten, has been widely criticized for being racially insensitive and offensive. It quickly went viral on social media, drawing sharp reactions from netizens across the globe. The publication reportedly carried a headline implying “a clever yet annoying person” and also included remarks criticizing India’s foreign policy.

The cartoon surfaced around the time of Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Oslo, further intensifying the backlash. Social media users strongly condemned the publication, calling the cartoon racist and unacceptable. Many accused European media of holding onto outdated colonial mindsets, while others described the act as a disgrace to responsible journalism. The incident has sparked a broader debate on media ethics and cultural sensitivity at an international level.
