Problem is the blind polarisation among the upper-crust - who refuse to see anything good in #Modi. Many had forwarded to me the clip of an MP criticising #PMCaresFund hailing her as the new start in parliamentarian. Same people not interested in #NirmalaSitharaman’s rebuttal.
2/n Similarly, not a word of condemnation for the pandemonium caused in #RajyaSabha (despite televised footage) by the opposition but all sympathies with suspended MPs protesting in the laws of Parliament House and lamenting the “death of democracy”. 3/n
3/n Same set of businessmen and industrialists who have been crying hoarse about labour reforms suddenly start talking like Trade Union leaders. Would love to see their reaction if the government withdraws the amendments in #LabourCodes 4/n
4/n Economists who were advocating #AgricultureReforms for long have gone silent. Media questioning renowned agriculture experts as if they’re stooges of the government and agents of big business - selling fake narratives Such double standards among the intelligentsia. #FarmBills
And, finally - we shall say there is no space to criticise the government, we are living in an atmosphere of fear and democracy in danger. Wah bhai wah !! #reforms #economy #ParliamentSession
