Kanchan Gupta slams Rahul Gandhi's "opposition is silenced" remark in the UK
Senior journalist Kanchan Gupta criticized Rahul Gandhi's recent statement in the UK where he alleged that the Indian government is silencing the opposition and suppressing dissent.
Gupta called Gandhi's statement "ridiculous" and pointed out that the Indian opposition has been vocally criticizing the government on various issues including the farmers' protest, COVID-19 management, and the recent fuel price hike.
Gupta argued that the Indian opposition's criticism is not being silenced by the government but is rather amplified by the media and social media.
Gupta also criticized Gandhi for making such a statement while he is abroad, saying that he is "embarrassing himself and the country" by spreading falsehoods about India.
Gupta also pointed out that Gandhi's statements are often factually incorrect and that he needs to educate himself on the issues before making such statements.
Gupta accused Gandhi of spreading misinformation and playing into the hands of India's enemies, saying that his statements are being used by foreign media outlets to paint a negative picture of India.
Gupta concluded by urging Gandhi to focus on constructive criticism and work towards finding solutions to the problems facing the country rather than spreading falsehoods and misinformation.
