[PICTURE] Narendra Modi, a dictator? ABC News documentary exposes Modi govt’s crackdown on press, minorities

[The Bald Eagle]

A new documentary by ABC News, spearheaded by reporter Avani Dias, has unveiled serious allegations against the Modi government concerning its treatment of journalists and minority communities, extending both within India and on an international scale

The documentary details how Dias, alongside other foreign journalists such as French reporter Vanessa Dougnec and several from Al Jazeera, faced significant obstacles while reporting in India, especially during election times.

These journalists reportedly had their visas denied or were expelled from the country, indicating a pattern of repression towards critics of the Modi administration.

Dias’s work highlights various instances of censorship, including the forced removal of videos covering sensitive topics like the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. She also shared experiences of receiving threats from Indian authorities after such content was deleted.

Over its decade-long rule, the Modi government is accused of consistently targeting foreign journalists as part of a broader crackdown on dissent.

The documentary also sheds light on the systematic actions against minority groups, specifically Sikhs and Muslims, citing the involvement of organizations like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) in training operatives for violent acts against these communities.

Furthermore, the report connects the Indian government to severe international incidents, including the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nagar in Canada and the attempted assassination of Gurpatwant Singh Pannu in the United States, with investigative findings from these countries implicating the Modi government.

The documentary also exposes alleged espionage activities, where Indian intelligence officers were expelled from Australia in 2020 after attempts to procure sensitive defense technologies, as confirmed by Australia’s Chief of Security Intelligence Organization.

[cricketjoshila]

Another hilarious attempt by the leftist media.

Avani Dias was expelled from India and foreigners cannot claim a right to reside and work in India, thats a privilege and not a right. May be these people think that a western passport is some kind of all access pass and it hurts their ego that India doesn't give two hoots to it.

All countries have spies in other countries. They get caught and are either exchanged or expelled.

Well, I won't be harsh on Modi g, as he is not a dictator but just a personification of character from the film General Aladin @pillionrider @DeadlyVenom @Itachi

You need free journalism to keep a government honest.

My own observation of India is there has been a systematic movement in recent years to clamp down on any critical journalism and inflate pro government journos while pumping up fake news via online channels.

Modi has many many flaws including his appalling dog whistle style of politics.

But I don't agree with portrayals of Modi as dictator type character. He is the complete opposite, relatively simple with no desire for wealth, no ostentatious displays, no desire for women or lavish life style.

This simplicity is what attracts many of the voters to him.

Contrast to Pakistani army generals and politicians. The way they behave and amass wealth and status.

How many overseas properties do they have and how many does Modi have?

They are the real general aludin type dictators.

Does India need journalists from Western countries to keep the government honest?

Why do Western countries think that they have the right to tell others how to function and others have to obey?

India's history culture people society everything is very different from Western countries, we don't need to follow them.

And this goes for every country.

Nobody is saying you need to follow them but what's wrong with them being critical and providing their point of view? Their reports can be easily rebutted and debated if needed.

The reality is that if they fawned at Modis feet they wouldn't be getting removed.

Nobody needs to fawn a Modi's feet. And nobody should.

Their point of view cannot be against the very sovereignty of India. Avani Dias support to Khalistanis while living in India is something that couldn't be condoned. That's why her visa was extended for only 2 months.

India is more important than any foreign journalist.

Rahul describes his situation quite well here. Scroll to 17:17. He also looks like he’s ready to have some fun with Modi in his last year or two as PM. And we on the frustrated, depressed, oppressed side can sit back with thumsup and spicy potato chips in hand ready to enjoy this vertical slide ride of Modiji

Let him be a dictator, their people chose him 3 times in a row. Also, he is making India super power and economy is booming. What did our “dictators” do? Rob the nation to a point bankruptcy, knocking on every country door to beg for funding, terrible education system to even lift us from the current situation.

====
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing accusations of spreading hatred against Muslims after controversial comments on Sunday wherein he equated the community to “infiltrators” and peddled anti-Muslim tropes in the middle of the country’s general elections.

Speaking at a crowded rally in the western state of Rajasthan, Modi said if the opposition led by the Congress party came to power, it would distribute the country’s wealth among “those who have more children”, in an apparent reference to Muslims, whom he had spoken about just before.

“Should your hard-earned money be given to infiltrators?” he said to the cheering crowd, before alleging that the opposition would take away even mangalsutras — the auspicious necklace that a husband ties around his wife’s neck in Hindu weddings — if given a chance.

Local poll officials in Rajasthan confirmed to Al Jazeera that they had received at least two complaints against Modi, calling for his election campaign to be suspended and for his arrest.

Renu Poonia, a nodal officer of the Election Commission of India (ECI) in the state capital, Jaipur, revealed that the complaints were received from the Azad Adhikar Sena, a regional political party, and a local non-profit organisation. India’s election code bars parties and politicians from engaging in speeches and campaigns that aim to perpetuate religious or caste differences. But independent watchdogs and activists have long complained that election officials act too slowly, if at all, especially when cases involve powerful officials in the government.

'BY DESCRIBING ME AS DICTATOR, OPPOSITION IS INSULTING 140 CRORE INDIANS': PM MODI

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today again hit out at the Opposition saying, "by describing me as dictator, they are insulting 140 crore Indians". He also vowed to oppose any move to amend the Constitution to provide reservation quota on the basis of religion.

Speaking to India TV anchor Minakshi Joshi, after filing his nomination for Varanasi Lok Sabha seat, Modi said, "When they use the word 'taanashah' (dictator) for an elected Prime Minister, they are insulting 140 crore voters of this country. Do you think the

voters of India will elect a dictator? Our voters are so mature that they threw out the dictator withing two years, when Emergency was imposed. Using the word 'dictator' is nothing but an abuse against crores of Indian voters. A person who served as chief minister of an important state by securing record majority, has served as prime minister for 10 years by winning elections. They are not insulting Modi, they are insulting the sanity (samajhdari) of Indian people. They are insulting the commitment of the Indian people towards democracy."

Every 5 years Modi faces elections. BJP faces elections in states whenever they are due.

That's democracy.

Its another point that pakistanis don't like him or that he isn't into muslim appeasement, so you think he is a dictator.

Such attempts are nothing for Modiji… reporters claiming this since 2014, but no one proved yet.. in India every reporter have freedom to bark freely. If any of these reports born our neighbouring countries, they would have killed.

I m sharing one example… 2 years back when Gautam Adani acquired NDTV group. NDTV media group always against ruling BJP government and praising opposition parties. After hearing Adanis acquiring NDTV, Pranab Roy, Senior management fellows tendered their resignations immediacy. They feared that if Adani controls NDTV, then Modi used him to change the policy of NDTV and it will turn BJP pro… now after 2 years, NDTV remains unchanged, they are continued their agenda against BJP government .

This is a secular remark and refers to anyone who has too many children. There are people from many communities which have too many children. Modi made a secular remark.

Especially against muslims, because any event related to muslim gets the megaphone, while others news get drowned out.

My friend was involved in demolishing illegal structures. 1 illegal mazar and 3 temples. But only the mazar made it to BBC. I called him up reading his name in the article. He said the journalist was muslim and the journo removed his statement that 3 temples were also demolished in the anti encroachment drive.

The news you get to hear is because only that particular bite is given a platform.

Dictator is not the small term, it is the WRONG term. Anyone elected by democratic elections and confined by the boundaries of constitution cannot be called a dictator.

Fantastically, YES. Hitler came to power without a popular mandate. Its well documented and what he did after coming to power, please go through it. One might not like Modi is one thing but Modi as a dictator is nothing hyperbolic political rhetoric.

No problem. USA did not give any warning to India not to buy oil from Russia, they requested. There was never any warning given but if there was, then please provide some proof of it. There is also a good reason for not warning India: it is too important as both a market for USA products, and as a co-operative and docile partner which sets them apart from China. This also reinforces my point made that India generally falls in line with every western whim right down to adopting the language of the British Raj.

Imran Khan's words need to be seen in context. He is no admirer of BJP led India, he is on record as being a fierce critic, hence why he is disliked by hindutvas far more than the current Pak administration. IK was merely comparing Indian self interest compared to Pakistan's shadow administration which has been mocked even by American ministers publicly.

Cap I totally agree with this, Indians have been falling in line with the West, just like the Chinese have been also, hence these countries have great economies while our Pakistan is constantly facing humiliation, being broke, begging in front of the international community constantly for money to survive...

Maybe it's not a bad idea for Pakistan to fall in line as well

I'm sure many in the Pakistan administration would love to fall in line with the west, unfortunately it would mean compromising their position as an Islamic nation and to do so they would need to drop quite a few of their current positions on censorship, Sharia laws, and israeli genocide. Will the public accept that? I doubt it.

I don't know why you lumped China in with India, there are wargames being conducted over the last few years with China and NATO facing off over several territorial disputes.

OK for a moment let's ignore NRC and CAA what about reservations, isn't it for socially underwhelmed communities?, In the article below, Modi himself acknowledging it and denying it's benefits for Muslims
====

Reservation on the basis of religion will be against the values and principles enshrined in the Indian Constitution, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.
“As long as I am alive, I will not let reservations of Dalits, adivasis, OBCs be given to Muslims on the basis of religion," he said in Maharashtra's Nandurbar while campaigning for elections.

“The Congress never bothered about the welfare of adivasis," he said about India’s main Opposition party.
What did PM Modi say in Rajasthan's Banswara in April?
The controversy started when during an election rally in Rajasthan's Banswara last month, Modi said that if voted to power, the Congress will distribute the country's wealth among "infiltrators" and families with more children.

Modi cited a speech by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and said his rival’s administration had advocated for the redistribution of property from Hindus to Muslims.

"This ‘urban Naxal’ mindset, mothers and sisters, will not even leave your mangalsutra. They can go to that extent. The Congress manifesto claims it will calculate the gold possessed by mothers and sisters, gather information about it, and then distribute that property. They will distribute it to whom? Manmohan Singh's government had said Muslims have the first right on the country's assets," Modi had said.

"Earlier, when their [Congress] government was in power, they had stated that Muslims have the first right on the country's assets. This implies to whom will this property be distributed? It will be distributed among those who have more children. It will be distributed to the infiltrators. Should your hard-earned money go to the infiltrators? Do you approve of this?"

"Do governments have the right to confiscate your property which you have earned through hard work? The gold with our mothers and sisters is not for showing off; it is tied to their self-respect. The value of their mangalsutra is not in gold or its price, but is related to their dreams in life. And you are talking about snatching it?" the prime minister had said in Rajasthan.
The Congress asked the Election Commission (EC) to take action against Modi for his comments. The Congress said the Prime Minister's speech was "divisive, objectionable and malicious” and he had made “blatantly defamatory”, “false” and “unverified allegations” against the party.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) too asked the EC to take action against PM Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

'Not against Muslims or Islam', says PM Modi
In a recent interview to Times Now TV news channel, Modi said that he is not biased against Muslims.
In an interview clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), Modi said, "Neither we are against Muslim nor Islam. This is not our work. Muslim community understands everything. When I ended the tradition of triple talaq, when I give Ayushman card or when I give Covid-19 vaccine, Muslim sisters feel I am a genuine man who does not discriminate."

Answering to allegations made against him for being against Muslims, he said, “When there was the government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, our manifesto mentioned Ram Mandir, Article 370. When you speak about 100 per cent, every community is included. There is a guarantee of social justice, secularism. Modi ensures that everyone gets everything."

'Muslims, leaders should introspect', says PM Modi
He further said that the Muslim community and their leaders should introspect. “The country is moving forward. If your community is lagging, then what is the reason? Did you receive the benefit of government schemes during Congress' rule?" he said.

The Prime Minister accused the Congress party of disrespecting the Constitution. “Shouldn't we create a spirit of Constitution in the country? It is not that the Constitution should be only for judges and lawyers. When I brought a proposal in Parliament to celebrate Constitution Day, Kharge ji [Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge] himself opposed it, saying what was the need when we celebrate January 26."

Looks like your already walking things back with post #32

your post that CAA should include bengali muslims, while bangli nuslims are the violently asked for partition shows that all you care about is muslim causes.

you have little to no objectivity in you outlook and can see things only thro one prism

An easy way to dodge the main question
Well still waiting for your definitions of terrorist and dictator.

Well I have done it before in OBL thread but you didn't return the favor so it would also be futile now.

And OK bro if you really belive in global consensus, then tell me why Modi was banned by US, how was your PM viewed by countries and international media before PMship. Infact also afterward. Would you now still go with the 'global consensus'?

Now who is dodging?

You simply asked the question if OBL was terrorist or freedom fighter.

Go ahead and gimme the difference with definition.

Global? does US and UK become the globe? there are 162 countries.

All it shows is hypocrisy of countries that banned him and the traitors traits among Indian leaders which in the past led tot its conolonisation

 

[rpant_gabba]

OK for a moment let's ignore NRC and CAA what about reservations, isn't it for socially underwhelmed communities?, In the article below, Modi himself acknowledging it and denying it's benefits for Muslims

All of a sudden you are expert on indian constitution? You might not like it, but indian constiutiion doesn't caste based reservation.

If it is equitable system, it would be based one economics and not religious or caste identity

all you you capable of is seeing green tinted glasses

Yep i can give mine but you can't give yours beside vanishing

Terrorists are those who enforce their opinions on others, who kill people aimlessly just to further their powers and those who kick people out of their land for their colonization and just to get their dirty hands over their resources.

The above text is from post 15 OBL thread and on freedom fighter its too simple anyone who fights to liberate their land from invaders, colonizers or imperialist forces

Hopefully now you will tender your definitions too instead of dodging tactics
