The New York Times once again held up a mirror to the Modi government
The foreign newspaper New York Times shook the world’s largest so-called democracy, once again showed a mirror to the Modi government.
Web Desk: The New York Times has said in its report that under Modi’s shadow, India will become the second Kashmir. From America to Britain, Modi has become a source of laughter for India.
This is the eleventh editorial of the New York Times on human rights and declining journalistic standards in India in 2023 alone. In 2019, Kashmir Times filed a petition in the court against Modi on internet shutdown. In retaliation, the Modi government shut down the newspaper itself.
The report says that Modi has popularized intolerance and violence against Muslims in India, and that journalists critical of Modi are threatened under the guise of accusations of income tax evasion, terrorism or separatism.
According to the report, newspapers are blackmailed to publish favorable news under the guise of advertisements and funds. After assuming power in 2014, Modi has been systematically controlling the courts and government machinery. Only the media is standing.
Indian journalist Anu Radhabhasan has said in the report that Modi’s anti-journalism measures have created an information gap in India, Modi is strangling freedom of expression through new laws.
The report says that after Kashmir, Modi now wants to implement this model in the whole of India. The Modi government has put the names of more than 20 critical journalists on the no-fly list. Despite the deaths of 19 journalists in Kashmir from 1990 to 2018, journalism continues to suffer. There was no danger.
After Modi came back to power, a journalistic tragedy is brewing and the Indian media has become Modi’s mouthpiece in order to avoid sanctions and economic benefits, stopping the broadcast of BBC’s anti-Modi series and offices under the guise of income tax. Attacks are a tactic to suppress journalistic voices.
The New York Times questioned in its report whether the United Nations will take any notice of Modi’s fascist agenda after the repeated voices of the international media.
