The #Hindenberg investigation reveals why Modi/Adani are all out to buy media completely. The spectre of exposed skeletons in their financial fraud in news cycles would be disastrous.
Also their another big problem will be to prevent a lawsuit in US because they can't control
the American judiciary like they do in India. American judiciary is famous for swashbuckling proceedings and verdicts indicting the high and mighty.
Modi has to protect Adani at any cost to save his own ship from sinking. He has a tough choice to either protect his International
image in 'the larger scheme of things' and let go of despotic stand against press/ #BBCDocumentary or protect his domestic image of a minority abusing hardliner for electoral gains.
Either way the demon himself is caught between the devil and the deep sea.
Interesting time!

For the record, American researchers have time and time again proven their findings right.
Delve into history and dig out former PM of India Morarji Desai's libel case in Chicago District Court against an allegation levelled by Seymour Hersh naming Desai as CIA mole in his book
Morarji Desai lost the case and Seymour Hersh acquitted by court after six months long trial. In the US, it is the plaintiff who has to prove that the defendant's allegations are false. Desai had to prove that he had never been a CIA "asset"
- a difficult task as the agency is not in the habit of providing affidavits; that Hersh's information was false; that he had knowingly printed lies about Desai; and that he had doubts about the truth of his allegations.
#BBCdocumentry has not only exposed what happened in 2002 but also exposed how hollow, powerless and weak Modi is in 2023. With aggressive attempts to stifle democracy by banning documentary, he’s exposed as a despotic leader in front of the world.
All his PR to project him
as a global leader have been blasted in one stroke.
With his image in a free fall, he’s also destroyed Indian judiciary’s once stellar credibility by manipulating and bribing justices offering post retirement sops.
Indian judiciary remained impervious to use of agencies by
erstwhile governments and kept delivering justice as central pillar of a healthy democracy. Not any more.
In his zest of snatching clean chits from every single law enforcement agency, Modi killed the very fabric of responsible democracy.
Morbi is in national news because of #MorbiBridgeCollapse claiming 140 plus lives pointing to gaping holes in infrastructure projects and its maintenance as well as administrative negligence.
Let's delve into Morbi's political past and why turmoil engulfed it.
Morbi traditionally is ceramic capital of India with over 1000 ceramic tile factories producing 90% of India's ceramic production.
This ceramic industry is cracking under rising costs with 800 units facing uncertain future due to constant rise in prices of
gas, coal and raw materials.
Morbi's ceramic factories halted production for one month beginning August 2022 in an unprecedented action. Major reasons for this move was due to significant decrease in domestic demand as affordable housing construction fell below sustainability.
#MorbiBridgeCollapse disaster that claimed hundreds of lives is a serious issue of privatised ‘vikas’ model where public infrastructure projects are handed to cronies instead of government taking them up.
Massive gaping hole in PPP model that’s been peddled by none other than
Modi himself (public private partnership) washing hands & responsibility off infrastructure that people pay taxes for.
Disasters end up in appointment of inquiries which never reach any conclusion or even report and quickly forgotten in fast changing politics now.
Zero accountability and punitive action resulting in relentless siphoning off of public coffers lining up pockets of both private sector and ruling political party.
There will be hue and cry for literally 3-4 days and it will be back to usual business leaving families of dead
While PM Modi is in Gujarat on election campaign, suspension bridge collapsed in #Morbi. 400 people fell from collapsed bridge. Many feared drowned. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
