India has news channels castigating the govt everyday. Wire, NDTV are 2 examples. Attempts to bring a constitutional amendment (NRC, CAA) which discriminated against 1 religious community was vehemently opposed and stopped. People took to t

I am not happy with the way this govt has handled the economy and this pandemic, but I support the PM in this decision and the police in their violent enforcement today. People are being too callous. They are going about the city as though
