>> "They have been investigating the case for 15 months but have not been able to unearth even a single rupee of illegal money. So much time and so many resources have been expended but they haven't been able to prove anything. This is just a political vendetta. The BJP knows it is losing," he said. [1]

Why would anyone be happy with atrocities being committed at people by the government? Do you like such stuff?


It's a play on the phrase, ‘You'll own nothing and be happy” [^1]. Looks like it wasn't especially well received.

I have backed everything with sources in my posts? Can you point out if anything is not correct? Or do you have a general issue when something is said against ruling party?

If you really care about reputation of India, how about advising someone in BJP to prevent this type of things from happening at first place?


Sure let’s start from your post title itself. What “authentic” source do you have that the origin of this is BJP IT cell?


Mohammed Zubair and Pratik Sinha are Indian journalists and the co-founders of Alt News, an Indian non-profit fact-checking website. They were nominated for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. They have fact checked the claims from all political parties. [1]

>> Zubair was arrested and incarcerated by the Delhi Police for a month. His detention raised further concerns about the state of India's press freedom under Narendra Modi's premiership and was widely criticized by journalistic bodies, human rights organizations and the political opposition who allege that the arrest was an act of revenge against his role in Alt News' work of combating disinformation.[1]

1. BJP still control most of the mainstream media.

2. BJP has in past offered plum post retirement positions to judges after they delivered some controversial decisions in favour of BJP.

3. BJP has full control on Election commission, and the electronic voting machines. Despite multiple reposts of voting machines found in cars of BJP candidates, or videos of faulty machines showing votes in favour of BJP, and despite calls for letting opposition parties inspect machines, Election commission has never let them inspect the machines.

4. A large number of bigots are in various positions in various administrative services and in recent years they have started showing their hate in open.


BJP brought the Citizenship Act and the National Register of Citizens to act against the minority.

We also used to a time in Germany in 1940s. We should not let that happen again anywhere in the world.


India has its own examples. Foreign examples only leads to whataboutism.

>> The West is so pristine it doesn't arrest protesters at all. Nor do Government agencies kill people randomly. Nor does it indulge in assassinations...

Classic Example of whataboutery.
