Propaganda by media

ABC News ‘journalist’ Avani Dias forgot one key piece of information – The word secular was not part of the Indian Constitution when it came into force in 1950.

Despite a grand alliance of 20+ rival political parties and a growing anti-incumbency, BJP emerged victorious under the leadership of PM Modi.

Avani Dias and her propagandist friends at ABC News sought to weaken India-Australia ties and create an atmosphere of diplomatic distrust.

Tanushree Pandey, who had previously tweeted about the Israeli airstrike in Rafah with the hashtag '#AllEyesOnRafah, attacked those posting about the plight of Hindu pilgrims in Reasi.

Avani Dias alleged, "Just so you're across it, when India was founded in 1947 after it got independence from the British, its constitution was written to say India is a secular country, which means it has to be neutral and open to all religions."

If there was resentment among the common people as Kapil Komireddi's late father had allegedly prophesied, it should have been reflected in the voting pattern since 2014.

Nitasha Kaul conjectured a make-believe story to lend credence to the conspiracy theory mainstreamed by Congress party about the Electronic Voting Machines.

In India's independent history, a three-member selection panel has never appointed the Election Commissioners.

While speaking to News24, PM Modi sarcastically remarked, "If there was no media, then, who would have known me?"

The Guardian also roped in anti-India propagandists such as Arundhati Roy, former Amnesty India Head Aakar Patel to lend credence to the dubious claims made in the article.
