I think this government does not have problem with criticism, but opposition is doing very bad job of criticism itself. It fails to present proper solution/ better approach on things that matters to national security, policy and way forward for country and people dont appreciate such cynical thinking anymore. strawman arguments on high moral ground will not work after a while.

As for BBC "The Modi Question", comes from wrong place itself. India has left that issue long ago, but internal and external forces who doesn't much on Modi in politics plays same card again and again.

Few videos I found to their narrative - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkVQ4RNxBB4

PS: Author AKASH BANERJEE is well know youtuber who extreme leftist. India's are not interested in people who cant represent them anymore. We lack centrist government / opposition.

Is the BJP's "IT cell" spreading propaganda on HN now too?

I don't know why the parent is being down voted. Modi has not been found guilty. He was cleared of all charges by the Supreme Court of India after multiple scrutiny. As an Indian I have full faith in the Indian system of checks and balances. I am not even a huge Modi fan, and haven't voted for him, but I have to say these things.

If the government doesn't have problem with criticism, why do they censor people left and right and impose the draconian UAPA on any media which criticizes them? Your linked videos are quite literally propaganda pieces by a well-known propaganda channel. >Akash Banerjee is a leftist. He isn't.

After all that government done to Muslims, and its intentional hatred towards them, you still say it doesn't have a problem with criticism?

They are so accepting of criticism, that every time one criticizes them, they get banned from India's Twitter.

This isn't a real account and should be flagged.

What has "that government" done to Muslims? Even if you assume the worst and take all main BJP leaders in power as downright islamophobes, what have they actually "done" to harm Muslims specifically?

The most I can see is fear-mongering and creating artificial victimhood against them for clout and political reasons, but that happens on both sides and has been happening since time immemorial. If this is about Kashmir, their drastic steps, albeit excessively totalitarian and cruel to Kashmiris, are for retaining their sovereignty before anything else. They would have done the same had there been any other religion.

And don't get me started on Twitter. For every account banned for "misinformation" there are a thousand others that keep on shitting on the administration. It's Twitter for God's sake.

You aren't contributing anything with your ad hominem painting of the entire government as hateful to Muslims other than fear-mongering.
