Conspiring democracies.

"Nikhil Gupta, the Indian national accused by the US of being party to a plot to kill Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has given extraordinary details about how he was accosted by American agents at Prague airport and illegally interrogated for over 3 hours inside a moving black van before being handed over to the Czech authorities." TOI. He was given pork and beef to eat which was torture for a "devout Hindu and vegetarian". Pork and beef are not cheap. "According to court documents, earlier this year, an Indian government employee (CC-1), working together with others, including Gupta, in India and elsewhere, directed a plot to assassinate on US soil an attorney and a political activist who is a US citizen of Indian origin residing in New York city (the Victim)." justice.gov. A report by the US online media outlet The Intercept "claimed that the Indian government issued instructions on a 'crackdown scheme' against certain Sikh entities in western countries." DH. "A report published in The Washington Post...details the clandestine operations of an organisation called the Disinfo Lab, allegedly orchestrated by an officer of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) to target critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi." DH. The officer has been named as 39-year old Lt Col Dibya Satpathy. Ms Sagorika Sinha finds a vast international conspiracy against Mr Modi, India, and Hindus. "George Soros has no qualms in admitting on a global level his disapproval, and to vowing to take all possible measures to oust Modi, while attacking India's billionaire philanthropist Gautam Adani to hurt the Indian economy." The attack on Disinfo Lab is coordinated by "a sprawling 'nexus' of conspirators funded by Pakistani intelligence, Muslim Brotherhood and Soros". Philanthropist Adani was accused by Hindenburg Research of "brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud scheme over the course of decades". "More publications will likely follow The Intercept. It's been a trend in American policy. Washington begins, the US media carries it on. So New Delhi should be ready for that." FP. The US government is neck-deep in the conspiracy! "The Narendra Modi-led government is refusing to cooperate with French judges who have requested India's assistance in their ongoing investigation into alleged corruption in the sale of 36 Dassault-built Rafale fighter jets to India in 2016." The Wire. French judges as well. Et tu, Brute? wikipedia. "Union home minister Amit Shah asked what terrorists wanted by India were doing on Canadian land." TOI. "Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has been booked on the charge of sedition and other offences for writing an objectionable article against Prime Minister Narendra Modi." DH. Therein lies the misunderstanding. Anyone criticising Dear Leader is labeled a "terrorist". Pesky foreigners do not agree. Freedom of speech is the very First Amendment. Constitution Annotated. It is indeed a vast conspiracy. Of democracy. Incomprehensible.
