Current Indian resident here. This is the NDA government’s default response to any and all questioning - that the questioner is out to malign india.
The ploy is obvious and transparent but seems to be working. I just wish we had a viable opposition party/alliance whom we could send to office.
- maccolgan 5y agoIt's not really a NDA government default response, it is also the de facto default response for any alleged government mishap. It straight up dates back to the Emergency days.
- CtznIndn 5y agoNo. It's more prominent and widespread under the current government. Multiple governments post Emergency did hold onto Parlimentary and democratic traditions and attempted to provide answers and held themselves accountable during such mishaps. Its disingenuous to mark ANY current mishap by present gov to "Emergency days".
- gigglesupstairs 5y agoStill doesn’t absolve the current dispensation or make it any less callous. Topic at hand is current government’s attitude and not of previous governments.
- npmn 5y agoIt is the default response of the NDA government specifically, the last government on allegation of non-existent scam(proven in courts later), was open to all the proceedings which concluded after their government was out of office. I really miss those day.
- CtznIndn 5y agoThere is a viable Opposition. Just because Gov patronized Media does not promote Opposition's activities does not mean there is no opposition. Even today,Rahul Gandhi's press conference on Pegasus was not covered by prominent News Channels as they were asked not to. It's onto the citizens to see the opposition, and not invalidate it's presence. Primarily, The parroting of 'no viable opposition'' has to stop.
