Lies of the Modi-Shah Regime and Godi Media Versus the Truth

Godi Media

Here, we discuss some the false narratives that the corporate media of our times is creating in light of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 and the National Register of Citizens and the mass protests that have erupted rejecting the communal basis of Indian citizenship.

At a time, when the entire country has erupted in protests to resist the communal Citizenship Amendment Bill, which makes religion as a basis for granting/snatching of Indian citizenship, the Modi-Shah duo has once again used the corporate media to propagate lies. Let us look into some of these lies.

  1. The Act will not affect the Indian minorities

Amit Shah and his pet anchors like Sudhir Chaudhary have tried to reiterate that the Act will not affect the Indian Muslims but the reality is different. The CAA-NRC-NPR is a total package. Under NPR-NRC, if someone fails to provide requisite documents, the person will be granted first a refugee status under the CAA, and subsequently through the cover of CAA will be given citizenship, provided the person is not a Muslim. By the way, even for non-Muslims, people declared non-citizens due to lack of specified documents, will still have to spend aundefined period in ‘detention camps’ as we are witnessing in Assam. If a Muslim fails to prove his or her documentary criteria for citizenship under NRC, there is no safety cover of CAA for them. Such Muslims will be thrown in detention centres. They will become stateless, without even basic human rights. At the base, this triple trick of CAA-NPR-NRC is an attack on the poor working class, who would not be able to furnish documents to prove their citizenship.But for the Muslim poor, even the refugee status granted by CAA is out of the window.

  1. “NPR and NRC are not linked.”

The BJP has said that the NPR is just an exercise prior to the 2021 Census and have denied its link to NRC. Zee News,on 24th December uploaded a report viewing NPR and NRC as very separate exercises. But Page 262 of the Annual Report 2018-19 of the Home Ministry, headed by Amit Shah, clearly states that “The National Population Register (NPR) is the first step towards the creation of the National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC)”. The new Census includes a column of information about the birthplace of one’s parents and grandparents. This column did not exist in the 2010 Census, linking it to the nation-wide NRC this time. Also, on 26th November 2014, Kiren Rijiju of BJP remarked in the Rajya Sabha, “The NPR is a first step towards the creating of NRC”. 

  1. “Students are destroying public property”.

Disregarding the integrity of his institution, Chief of Army Staff, General Bipin Rawat accused the leaders of the protests to be ‘misleading’ the students on 26th December. The newly appointed CJI, SA Bobde, on 16 December, commented, “if you want to take to street, then in that scenario, do not come to us…. if protests and violence and damage of public property will be there, we will not hear the matter “, when Supreme Court lawyer Indira Jaising appealed to the Supreme Court to take suo moto action against the police who attacked students in Jamia Milia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University, by entering the university premises. The Godi Media has created this narrative that the students are rioting in order to take away the real issues from the sight. At primetime, fake and unrelated clips of students, past social media posts etc are being shown on the TV screen to erase from minds of the people the reason we are fighting for. Contrary to their propaganda, the peaceful protests have seen ruthless repression from the police. Videos of UP Police vandalising homes and Delhi Police vandalizing and burning vehicles have surfaced, shedding the veil of lies that this government wears.

“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play,” said Goebbels, the propaganda minister in Hitler’s Germany. The Modi-Shah duo has very well kept in mind this fascist dogma of Joseph Goebbels while they attempt to cripple the Indian Constitution and push down our throats a communal, sectarian India, even as the economy crashes downwards. The BJP-RSS government has used its ‘Godi Media‘ or ‘Modia‘, as the media has come to be known these days, is following a calculated process of delegitimising institutions and then attacking them. The Modia tagged JNU as a university of ‘anti-nationals’ in 2016. In 2019, when the students raise their voice against the New Education Policy and privatisation of education, the same corporate channels rig them of their essence, yelling slurs like ‘Jihadis!’ and ‘Anti-Nationals!’ at primetime. This has been the process of delegitimising dissent.

An important aspect of this controlled media that needs to be highlighted is the functioning of this media in a global system. The corporates, in the backdrop of globally crashing economy, divert their fundings to a conservative-fascist party. This funding is also diverted to the media channels, gaining direct control of content. The content, controlled by the ruling party with the ‘invisible hand’ of capitalist funding is presenting propaganda as facts, pushing it as truth among the Indian masses. This control of media, along with a high-functioning social media troll army has helped the BJP-RSS to tell their lies enough times, waiting for them to become truths.

  1. It is a moot point if Indian legislature can make a reference to Afganistán in a parliamentary statute as India has no sovereignty over Afganistán . Perhaps Modi the reincarnate of Alaxander is surreptitiously enslaving India to Great Britain the winner of WWII .The winners have been passing statutes over common wealth countries or the colonial nations . Modi is a slave by blood and is a too proud water bubble and may be he is just a illegal over the night migrant tresspasser from Sindh or Pakistan or may be Persia .God knows ! There is no credible biography of Modi yet and the people of India have a right to know the facts.

    US Congress the winner of WWII is too big and has usurped the powers of naming other countries in the Congress statutes not withstanding UN . BECAUSE US Congress is unstoppable. But is MODI too big or he is timing
    and sycophanting Trump to pass legislations emulating him (declared illegal by US courts) just to make India an undeclared NATO ally and plunder favourable 2+2 pacts with US for business gains of ADANI AMBANI and plunging India into the armament trade . No wonder it is not a sign of hindoo blood to be a arms trader just for the sake of one AMBANI ADANI.

    Trained judges act in Cahoot with the registry and only cases that fit the hidden agenda are taken . It is billon $ industry in collusion with the law firms of dubious credentials working and having the patronage of trained judges and Registrar hypocracy PIL’s with no locus and right infringement are entertained and bonafide litigation is blocked . Executive has no tracking of the cases and the policy and legislation does not arise from the cases history but out of the whims of the ADANIAMBANI to suit their trade.

    I regret to report that Cheryl and Devrat won’t comment on my dhc order and won’t even go through the docs . I understand there are gravest of issues on hand and the very civilization is under threat by modishah secret credentials and secret plans . No wonder they have the company of arm traders and the agenda of arm traders . The very floor below the feet is slipping . Modi and shah statements contradiction and modi point blank white lied in Ramlila ground . Modi is harbouring controversial foreigners in India selling them land selling them flats at the same time smuggling out the Indian agricultural and human intelligence genes to foreign lands and feeding the Indian population with produce if Africa and mynamar and selling the rare varieties of food to US in $ and plunging Indians into world arms trade .

    Nedumpara Sir .
    I wanted to be in nlc Bangalore and nlc madurai I was expressing myself In those groups but was blacked later on by kamath and Stevenson . They did not allow me participation inspite request without any express reason I was hurt . Advocates have their own commercial interests and bias and I regret to say by far most of them are working against the interest of public at large and are being corrupted by the budget power and the public is indeed pitiable state and Modi has become a facist enforcing draconian law on the innocent people in cahoot with the judiciary and the military junta to plunge India into arms trade to suit AMBANI adani balance sheets .Kejriwalh has almost bribed advocates with a budget allocation of 50 crores which is against public policy. But let me not talk about it.
    NLC has so many groups why not integrate and have a high court wise groups and a national group . It is high time .

    Modi is leading the front of conspirators who had been conspiring against India and have snatched away the bread of the indegenious. There has to be an assessment of the damage caused to indegenious and question of mercy towards the Pakistani Hindus or like does not arise as they had the option to migrate to India but failed that time and cannot be allowed option in 2019 being time barred and has to be on case to case basis not a blanket statute which smacks of Modi himself being a illegal over the night border crosser to India and hypocrating as a Hindu and exploring the goodness of Hindus with military designs of ISI NATO .

    Hope you are having great success with business . You already took a great plunge and now there shall be no limit to the success of your business more so bsy as CM and Modi at center .But modi has his own controversy like CAA the tip of the iceberg . In fact he is a secret arms trade agent for ambaniadani.

  2. Under the authority of s 192 of the Army Act 1950 GOI issued regulation sro19e reserving 33 percent of posts in my central civil service for army personnel . There is no mention of army in my 1949 service rules . Also there is no authority in s 192 of he Army act to reserve post in a central service for army personnel. The
    sro 19e is void and unconstitutional and needs to be struck off but the writ in SC was thwarted politically and corruptly and not being put to adjudication in highly corrupt manner and now the govt is trying to bring cds to cover up the misdeeds of the past

  3. CAA is a sinister design to divert youth attention from usurpation of civil posts by the Army . In short legalising the undocumented coup of the Indian Army since Krishna Menon Tiff.

  4. The country is at gun point of certain disgruntled army terrorists who are possibly also the masked goons of he jnu . Army men on army duty roaster have bunked and committed the offences under the protection of Amit Shah and will never come in the DP concocted investigation report. The country is under rule by Army junta and we have lost or AZADI for all times to come . There is absolute anarchy in the country Supreme Court and High courts are gone to the dogs of Judge Advocate General.
