It is meant to dismiss all opposition, play to the mob, promote Whataboutery & establish one person as repository of all wisdom in the country. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/protest-against-pakistans-atrocities-on-minorities-modi-tells-anti-caa-protesters/article30459714.ece

Frightening; what we are up against. If we don’t stand up this is the beginning of the end. Outstanding even if Armageddon-like expose of the hate machinery @kunalpurohit. #Islamophobia

Paranoia is a state of mind in which people have a hugely exaggerated feeling of persecution, of being constantly threatened by known and unknown enemies.

“The Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 should have been stopped by the legislature, things should not have come to this pass. Now, the judiciary must rise again to the Constitution’s defence … protect the spirit of the Republic, its very soul.”

Brute majority

Dissent is ‘anti-national’ in Modi’s India – no matter where it comes from

From rebuttals to industrialist Rahul Bajaj to a media advisory on the day of Assam protests, the government continues to clamp down on criticism.
