This reminds me of "believe us they have bio-weapons and need to attack Iraq" trope followed in the recent past. This is just building up media narrative and trying to brainwash people, similar to what happened in the past.

The creation of an enemy and blaming them for all the problem seems to be one of the most successful ways to win election - this has been used in India since long before. Stirring up people's emotions and pitching them against each oth

This is a very clear example of hate speech and people in the comment section seems to unknowingly or deliberately conflating it with free speech. Free speech does not mean you call upon people to incite violence against a particular set of
