A surprising statement by an Indian Non-Resident Indian (NRI) woman, identifying herself as a “Bhaktin,” has left Japanese authorities and locals bemused, as she credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ensuring her safety in Japan. The remark, made during an interaction with the Indian diaspora in Tokyo, has sparked a mix of amusement and debate, given Japan’s globally renowned law and order system.
The woman, part of the enthusiastic crowd welcoming PM Modi during his visit for the 15th India-Japan Annual Summit, declared, “It’s not possible to live safely in Japan without Modi ji. Because of him, we are safe here.” The comment, overheard by local Japanese police officers, reportedly left them stunned, with one officer humorously remarking that their meticulously efficient law enforcement system had “gone into a coma” upon hearing the claim.
Japan, consistently ranked among the safest countries in the world, boasts one of the lowest crime rates globally, with a robust police force and stringent laws ensuring public security. The country’s safety record is a point of national pride, making the NRI’s statement particularly striking. Local media and residents found the comment endearing yet puzzling, with some jokingly wondering if PM Modi had secretly trained Japan’s police force.
The Indian diaspora in Japan, numbering over 40,000, has been vocal about their pride in India’s global influence under PM Modi’s leadership. However, this particular claim has drawn lighthearted reactions from both Indian and Japanese communities. “We respect Modi ji’s leadership, but Japan’s safety is a result of its own systems,” said Anil Sharma, an NRI businessman in Tokyo, chuckling at the Bhaktin’s enthusiasm.

The incident has also fueled online discussions, with memes and humorous comments circulating about the unexpected attribution. Some Indian netizens lauded the woman’s devotion, while others playfully noted that Japan’s legendary discipline and low crime rate might not need external reinforcement. Meanwhile, Japanese social media users expressed curiosity about the fervor surrounding PM Modi’s visit, with one user quipping, “Does Modi san have a secret police badge we don’t know about?
”As PM Modi’s visit strengthens India-Japan ties through economic and strategic agreements, this quirky moment has added a touch of humor to the bilateral narrative. The Japanese police, ever professional, continue their duties unfazed, but the Bhaktin’s comment has certainly left an unforgettable mark on this historic summit.
