The ruling BJP on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Congress citing a New York Times expose on an individual’s involvement in pushing Chinese propaganda worldwide, including in India through the website News Click.
Union information and broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur led the charge attacking the Congress for rushing to the defence of News Click when the BJP had clearly revealed its pro China tilt.
“Even newspapers like ‘The New York Times’ are now admitting that Neville Roy Singham and his NewsClick are dangerous tools of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and promoting China’s political agenda across the world.
Much before NYT, India has long been telling the world that NewsClick is a dangerous global web of Chinese propaganda. Supported by like-minded forces, Neville has been furthering a dubious anti-India agenda,” Thakur said.
“People are aware that the nation will not be safe in the hands of GHAMANDIA gathbandhan,” he said borrowing a phrase which Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently used for opposition INDIA bloc while addressing a meeting of the NDA MPs.
Today in Lok Sabha too BJP MP Nishikant Dubey during Zero hour by when Rahul Gandhi had returned to LS after reinstatement as MP, alleged that the Congress had a tango with China.
Uproar by opposition side and treasury side MPs led to the adjournment of proceedings till 2 PM.
