The BJP has criticized the Opposition parties in and outside Parliament for their alleged alliance with China. They claim that this alliance may be targeting India’s security and unity. BJP member Sudhanshu Trivedi raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha and questioned the Congress party about their alleged links with a news portal called “NewsClick.” According to a report by The New York Times, NewsClick received funding from China to spread propaganda against India. Trivedi also accused the Congress of supporting the portal when it was raided by the Enforcement Directorate in 2021 for various charges, including money laundering.
This development has raised concerns about foreign interference in India’s internal affairs. The BJP is calling for a thorough investigation into the matter and wants the Opposition parties to be held accountable for their alleged ties with China. They believe that such alliances could compromise India’s security and unity.
The BJP’s criticism comes at a time when tensions between India and China have been high due to border disputes and economic competition. The government has been taking steps to counter Chinese influence in various sectors, including technology and media. The alleged Chinese funding to NewsClick is seen as another attempt by China to undermine India’s interests.
It remains to be seen how the Opposition parties will respond to these allegations. The BJP’s attack on them is likely to escalate the political tensions in the country. The government will need to address these concerns and ensure that any foreign interference is dealt with firmly to protect India’s security and unity.
