Western Media’s Anti-Modi Rant Shows India’s Rise In The World Is Making Both Friends & Foes Nervous

A spate of articles in western media accuse Indian agencies of operating beyond the law when it comes to dealing with anti-India terrorists. Efforts have been underway to portray the Narendra Modi regime as a hyper-nationalistic regime, which is not averse to breaking international laws. It started with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who leveled baseless charges of India being involved in the killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. However, despite the ‘malign-India’ campaign, PM Modi and his ministers have made it clear that India will not hesitate to act to secure its interests. So what is behind the anti-India campaign in the West? Is the West, which sees India as a countervailing force to China, also wary of a rising India? Hindustan Times’ Executive Editor Shishir Gupta decodes these issues in the latest episode of Point Blank.
