Foreign interference is a far-fetched notion. There is no reason to believe that foreign intelligence agencies are involved in influencing the mandate in India.
However, the absolutely atrocious and partisan reportage on Indian politics by the global mainstream media over the last 10 years is something that even the Modi govt’s worst critics will have to admit. The one-sided narrative peddled by the Left-liberal global media against BJP/RSS/Modi cannot be brushed under the carpet. It is there for everyone to see for themselves.
The global media’s coverage of India, of late, has resembled a rant of varied accusations, mostly falsehoods and half-truths. What is even worse is that Indian media stalwarts like Mr. Shekhar Gupta, while appearing on foreign media talk shows, have tacitly encouraged this false narrative setting enterprise. When questioned on Modi govt’s alleged crackdown on Indian media, he and others of his ilk have remained silent or answered diplomatically. As far as my understanding of the situation goes, nothing has been done by the Indian govt which can give outlets like The Print, DW News, etc. a reason to claim that the govt is hounding them.
