Narendra Modi govt under attack for authoritarian drift
The \"authoritarian drift\" of the Modi government has come under sharp criticism by two of the world\'s leading newspapers which squarely blamed it for \"the lynch mob mentality\" witnessed in New Delhi in recent days.
New York: The "authoritarian drift" of the Modi government has come under sharp criticism by two of the world's leading newspapers which squarely blamed it for "the lynch mob mentality" witnessed in New Delhi in recent days.
"India is in the throes of a violent clash between advocates of freedom of speech and the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and its political allies on the Hindu right determined to silence dissent," the New York Times (NYT) said in an op-ed piece.
The article was re-tweeted by tennis great Martina Navratilova with her comment, "what passes for sedition in India-ultra nationalism easily turns into violence at worst, bullying at best." France's leading daily 'Le Monde' said in an editorial that "the horizon of Indian democracy has been oddly clouded" since the coming to power of Modi.
