INDIAN OPPOSITION  : INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

SHOWING INDIA IN BAD LIGHT

A REVIEW WITH INCIDENTS

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

It is noted that Germany, USA, and China are  making observations in the internal matters  of  India, which was not much happened during Congress/UPA regime.

This  trend is seen in recent years, which is far  from the DIPLOMATIC NORM. We agree that while there is a natural and normal interest of foreign countries in India, some politicians in India have also begun to look towards to foreign elements for the benefit of their parties operating in INDIA.

However—it has historical evidences.  RUSSIA through CPI, collected information and influenced congress in our  internal matters, as well as foreign policies. UK had a sordid presence till JLN was on chair, and still later.

India was considered a weak, third world  country. But, time has changed

Both, the present ruling party and also a few of the opposition parties are involved in such efforts, though their objectives and methods are clearly, and totally  different. While GOI try to exert their influence abroad to create a favourable atmosphere in the country of visit, the opposition creates an atmosphere against the Indian government in other countries for their INDIA BASED AGENDAS.

Prime Ministers of India went to various BUSINESS and Goodwill tour abroad, to generate India focussed sentiment in the vising countries.  Mr Narendra Modi—present P.M. of India took it to a new level altogether.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself went to several important countries of the First World and organized large rallies of the local  Indian diaspora, where, on one hand, he glorified India, and on the other hand, Indian opposition was evaluated on their  present- and past performances. However, it is noteworthy in this trend initiated by Prime Minister Modi that whenever criticism of the Indian opposition was made, it was within the Indian community. He never discussed India’s internal politics among foreign communities, or with foreign dignitaries.

There was, and is a “LAKSHMAN REKHA”

On the other hand, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has politically utilized his trips to important countries like the USA, China, and the UK during the past few years. During these trips, he has repeatedly alleged that the Indian government is continuously attacking the democratic institutions here,  Democracy in Danger, Minority is in danger, and here the Freedom of the press and the Judiciary  also is restrained.

But, the matter doesn’t end there. There is Press Meet, Press Release by these politicians, and notorious BBC , USA media…always try to blacken INDIA. And, the criticism is coming from  diplomatic institutions of foreign countries based on the narratives prepared, and presented by the opposition camps of  India on several internal matters of India, relating to Corruption practised by them, and reformations carried out by GOI.

This  is a matter of serious concern.

Let's look at several current internal issues in India. One, on  the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) in India, and second, the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on corruptions practised through a Policy amendment by AAP  leading to of a liquor scam. The aim was raising FUND to fight elections in GOA, and Punjab. Money trail is established by ED, and presented to Court.

As far as the question of the CAA is concerned, the Political Parties in opposition in India has consistently portrayed it as religious discrimination and anti-Muslim, based on which, protests against the law were held on a large scale in many parts of the country, including Delhi's Shaheen Bagh in 2019-20, and West Bengal—causing loss of life and state properties. Rumours were spread through News Papers, and Social Media that  this law will snatch the citizenship of a large number of Muslims in India, while the government repeatedly clarified that it is a law to grant Indian citizenship, not to snatch the citizenship of minorities in India.

This is a propaganda purely to cause internal disturbance, and RIOT.

Despite this clarification by GOI, the narrative created by the Indian opposition could create an atmosphere of confusion about this law around the world. America has said that we are concerned about the implementation of the CAA in India, and it is closely watching how this law is implemented. The situation was such that the Indian government had to respond by saying that those making such statements are not aware of Indian traditions and history after India's independence and the formation of new countries. America, was trying to catch fish in troubled waters of INDIA.

Next, the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the liquor scam case also led to criticism from Germany and America, just echoing the same as the opposition camp in India gurgled out. Both countries talked about the need to keep an eye on the matter and also preached for democracy in India. The situation became such that the Indian government had to tell these politicians that India's legal processes are based on an independent judiciary, and criticism or allegations against them will not be accepted.

Moreover, India had to say that diplomacy ordains foreign countries not to interfere in  internal matters and respect each other's sovereignty. However, even after this, the US State Department tried to intimidate India with a statement  that it will keep a close eye on actions like Kejriwal's arrest and actions like freezing the bank accounts of the Congress Party, though it was on TAX DEFICIT.

Earlier, the debate between BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma and Muslim leader Tasleem Rahmani also took a bad turn due to internationalisation. The Muslims of India  become aggressive, but also many Muslim countries, including Kuwait, Iran, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, started shooting warnings against India on this issue. Muslims in India thought that they got GLOBAL SUPPORT to do anything in INDIA. Muslim community raised violent slogans in many places like "Separate the head from the body," and in some places like Udaipur, incidents of actual beheading of people like Kanhaiyalal and some others came to light. Global MUSLIM COUNTRY’s irresponsible statements are responsible for these loss of Lives, and property.

When the CBI raided the premises of NDTV's owner Prannoy Roy in a case related to causing loss to a private bank, even then the opposition camp called it an attack on freedom of expression in India and an attempt to weaken democracy. BBC echoed. But the case of corruption was established.

During the farmers' agitation, we also saw how an international lobby was working day and night behind the scenes of the agitation in a planned manner, which was revealed by a toolkit mistakenly posted by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. In the Pegasus spyware case as well, several global organizations supported the claims of the Indian opposition, raising questions on the Indian government's actions.

The opposition in India has become moth eaten, internally. The reasons  are  corruption, nepotism, casteism, Muslim appeasement, criminalization of their party, policy paralysis, Promotion of Dynasty and failure to address the country's fundamental problems of present time.

Its sole  target is to oppose Modi government in every matters, and preach around the world that democracy, constitutional institutions, and the media are being weakened in India.

OBVIOUSLY, THE FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITH VESTED INTEREST TRY TO EXPLOIT THIS.  

BUT, THEY ALSO FORGET ABOUT SKELETONS IN THEIR CUBBARDS.
