Dear readers
If BBC were a political party in India, they would probably do a better job in carrying out an orchestrated narrative during the Lok Sabha Elections 2019 for one particular religious group. For a country of 1,300 million (130 Crore) people and world’s largest democracy it seems, for BBC the issue worth highlighting as that of communal violence should the incumbent PM Modiji and his party come back to rule for the next five years. The reporter no doubt being paid out of the licence fee payers money has ignored other attributes of a successful party and an honest PM loved by common man both in India and abroad such as infrastructure projects, bank accounts for the poor, electrifying villages, building toilets in the rural areas, providing gas and what’s more hardly any inflation which used to be the norm in the previous dynastical Congress Party’s reign.
The reporter thinks it is appropriate to publish her story under the following headline and the link which follows within a week of the voter’s verdict.
‘India’s Muslims fear for their future under Narendra Modi’
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-48278441
The editorial team for BBC online India news are obviously desperate just like the Congress Party as looking at their regurgitated choice words to make the story more unbelievable for an average progressive Hindu person living in the UK
-hate crimes against Muslims
-dangerously intolerant under the Hindu nationalist BJP
-how inclusive India is to its large Muslim minority population of 172 million
-The party espouses a Hindu nationalist ideology
-current political climate is compromising that basic secular principle.
Such phrases are sparingly used by likeminded BBC reporters however they deliberately ignore the success Modi led government achieved in last five years compared to decades of inaction by Congress. I grew up in Mumbai and in my college there was never perceived hatred against any other religion and same goes with all communities.
The same ‘higher than thou BBC’ reports the incidences in Turkey bit differently of course because it’s a Muslim country ruled by a despotic leader who even manages to annul recent Mayoral elections in Istanbul because his party lost! Where are the screaming are headlines or extract from Human Rights Watch?
It is clear that BBC is widely believed by Indians in India and UK/abroad is becoming mouthpiece of one particular religious group and de -facto spokesperson for those who want to divide India. Their reporters don’t go massive Modi rallies and witness for themselves what Indian public want whether its stability, progress, safety, security and most importantly anti-corrupt agenda.
We will continue highlighting such anti India BBC bias and wonder they deserve newsworthy mention for proud tax paying Indian diaspora
