Indian Gov’t Pushes Anti-China Frenzy to Attack Independent Media

The right-wing Modi government raided the offices and arrested the Editor-in-Chief of Newsclick, a major progressive news outlet, last October.

Now, they’re preparing an over 8,000-page document of false accusations saying the outlet is controlled by the Chinese government, and responsible for everything from the farmers’ protests to unrest in Kashmir.

Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek discuss the false nature of these charges and why the Indian government wants to shut down NewsClick.
