Why is a report raising questions about a businessman and a documentary raising questions about a politician, misrepresented as an "attack" against a nation? 🤔
And some are so naive to believe these deliberately distorted distractions.

Voices from inside and outside the raided BBC office in Delhi

“They were trying to hound us. They were standing around us in a group, and told us just do your business as usual. Then one of our editors said, ‘These are not cattle, they are journalist for god’s sake. How can you expect them to not respond to such an unprecedented situation.’”

By banning govt is saying that Indian people are so dull and dim-witted that they will be swayed by a documentary - "a propaganda piece" - that Indian people who voted Modi to power have no thinking faculties, had no brains, they couldn't be trusted with their decisions. They had no free will. And he - their new godfather, their new patriarch - will decide for themselves.
