Who is John Oliver and why his video on PM Modi’s ‘war rukwa di papa’ ad is all over the Internet?

A day before the Lok Sabha polls 2024 results day, a video of the latest episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver broke the Internet. Oliver’s satirical take on Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted an advertisement by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), featuring a young girl claiming PM Modi stopped the still ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, saying, “War rukwa di papa (He stopped the war, father).” The episode also discussed visuals from PM Modi’s interviews with several journalists.
