Social media platforms have been flooded with ‘Melodi’ memes following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Italy upon the invitation of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. These memes have drawn reactions from various corners, including Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, who criticized them as ‘absolutely cringe’ and a ‘poor reflection of Indian humor.’ The ‘Melodi’ trend emerged after Meloni posted a selfie with Modi alongside the hashtag ‘Melodi’ during the COP28 summit. Despite Chaturvedi’s criticism, Meloni has reportedly embraced the memes and continues to engage with them. Meanwhile, Modi’s visit to Italy also included bilateral meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, where discussions focused on strengthening strategic partnerships and exchanging views on global and regional issues.
