Celebrating India.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) completed 12 consecutive months without any operational casualties for the first time in 47 years." "In a social media post, CRPF Director General Gyanendra Pratap Singh said that "a game-changer has been round-the-clock helicopter and air ambulance support during high-density operations in all operating theaters." nowsonair. gov.in. Sadly helicopters were denied to the CRPF in February 2019 which led to a car-bomb suicide attack on the convoy on 14 February killing 40 CRPF personnel (wikipedia). In April 2023, "In a recent interview with the news portal The Wire, Satya Pal Malik, who was the governor of Jammu and Kashmir at the time of the Pulwama attack, alleged that there was a massive security lapse on the part of the Indian government in Pulwama and that Modi subsequently tried to silence him." He said that "the CRPF had asked the Home Ministry for five aircraft to transport personnel," but "the request was denied." The Diplomat. In May 2024, Mr Modi said, "I was convinced that God has sent me. This energy could not come from a biological body but was bestowed upon me by God." The Wire. Convinced in his Divinity, like God, Mr Modi does not answer any questions. In May 2026, during a visit to Norway, "As he walked away after a joint press conference with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, journalist Helle Lyng called out to him, asking why he doesn't take questions, but got no response." BBC. Lyng was invited to speak at the Bharat Summit in Hyderabad but claims that "she received a call from the Indian Embassy in Oslo around 10 minutes before she was due to leave for the airport. She alleged that she was told she could not travel following directions from the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA)." TOI. Not just Lyng, "Around 113 of the 315 speakers whom the Ministry of External Affairs cleared to attend the Congress Party's Bharat Summit, which begins in Hyderabad, Telangana, on Friday ((November 13) have been denied entry into India." This was apparently done retrospectively by the MHA. The Wire. The Bharat Summit is organised by the Congress government in Telangana "to mark 80 years of Independence and Nehru's 137th birth anniversary, it also explores how India can lead the way forward to a more just and inclusive world." The agenda of the Summit seems aimed at celebrating India's Independence and its future progress, so why did the MHA ban more than one-third of delegates? How were they going to endanger India's security? However, "PM Modi is set to visit Canada in December, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's office said, adding that the leaders were committed to conclude negotiations on a Comprehensive Partnership Agreement at the earliest opportunity." Reuters. With a Norwegian passport, Helle Lyng can travel freely to Canada to renew her conversation with Mr Modi. In addition, "A controversy around freedom of expression is beginning to cloud PM Modi's high-stakes visit to Canada even before it happens." "I will not tolerate a foreign police state like India threatening my journalists. We will fight for the truth and won't be silenced by them," said Keean Bexte, founder of the independent news organisation Juno News, after several posts linked to it featured in a First Information Report (FIR) registered at Mohali, Punjab, on 13 October." The Print. "When our Prime Minister and foreign minister travel abroad to lecture the world and receive its medals, they do not use the same rhetoric as they do within India." "They go to the United Nations and other fora under a Nehruvian carapace," wrote Aakar Patel. This hypocrisy is being found out. The reaction could come in two ways: 1. foreign journalists could start questioning Mr Modi on his foreign junkets, and 2. foreign governments could stop issuing visas to Indian politicians and officials they see as fascists. "You cannot fool all the people all the time," said Abraham Lincoln. All that "for the people, by the people" nonsense. If only he needed a visa.
