BJP chief JP Nadda accuse the Opposition I.N.D.I.A Alliance of “bullying the media” and “threatening individual journalists”.
In his post on X, JP Nadda also came down heavily on Congress, alleging that the grand old party has many instances of ‘silencing‘ those with differing views.
JP Nadda said In his post on X :
“The history of Congress has many instances of bullying the media and silencing those with differing views. Pandit Nehru curtailed free speech and arrested those who criticised him. Indira Ji remains the Gold Medal winner of how to do it- called for committed judiciary, committed bureaucracy and imposed the horrific Emergency,”.
