‘PM Narendra Modi Takes Israel’s Help To Win Elections’: Congress Makes Serious Accusations

NEW DELHI: Continuing its tirade against the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, the main opposition party Congress on Thursday made serious accusations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress accused the Prime Minister of taking help from Israeli agencies to win elections in the country and to remain in power. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Delhi, Congress spokespersons – Pawan Khera and Supriya Shrinate – alleged that PM Modi is playing with democracy, he is influencing elections in the country with the help of Israeli agencies.

The Congress leaders alleged that democracy is in danger in India since the Prime Minister is conspiring against the country by colluding with foreign military agencies. The allegation made by the Congress leaders is based on an investigative report released by a consortium of international journalists. 

 

भारत के लोकतंत्र को भारत की ही सत्ताधारी पार्टी द्वारा हाइजैक किया जा रहा है।

देश के लोकतंत्र को प्रभावित करने के लिए इजरायल की एजेंसी की मदद ली जा रही है।

ये हिंदुस्तान में बैठकर दूसरे देशों के साथ मिलकर भारत के लोकतंत्र के खिलाफ साजिश रच रहे हैं।

Shrinate went on to claim that a group of international journalists has claimed that Israeli contractors have influenced several elections in the world. Their main tactic is to spread lies. Traces of these agencies working secretly have also been found in India, she said. “This cannot happen without the consent of the government,” she said adding that “their method of spreading propaganda and lies matches with that of the BJP IT cell.”

 

हमारे कुछ सवाल:

1. इजराइली फर्म 30 चुनावों में हेराफेरी करती है, इनमें भारत भी शामिल है पर मोदी सरकार चुप है?

2. Pegasus पर मोदी सरकार कुछ नहीं बोली?

3. जो Fake News फैलाई जाती है, उसमें BJP IT सेल और उनके तथाकथित पार्टनर का कितना हाथ है?

Congress also accused the Modi government of joining hands with the Israeli “Team Jorge” led by Tal Hanan, a 50-year-old former Israeli special forces operative who works privately using the pseudonym “Jorge”. The party alleged that the Israeli team was behind “fake social media campaigns” in countries such as the UK, US, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Senegal, India, and the United Arab Emirates”.

 

मोदी सरकार का एक पैटर्न है।

पहले खबर को दबाओ, अपराधी को सजा मत दो। अपराधी को संरक्षण मिलेगा।

फिर जो खबर दिखा रहे हैं उन पत्रकारों के खिलाफ FIR करो, उन्हें जेल में डाल दो।

उसके बाद राजनीतिक लोगों पर प्रहार करना शुरू कर दो।

Shrinate further alleged that the Israeli team is responsible for spreading fake news and disinformation on widely used platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and Gmail and alleged the BJP’s IT cell has mirrored the modus operandi of “Jorge Team.”

“This government is known to play with big data to their advantage,” Shrinate added. She also accused PM Modi of having more than 60% fake followers on social media platforms and claimed over 18,000 fake accounts on Twitter still amplify fabricated information for the BJP.

 

• PM मोदी के 60 फीसदी से ज्यादा ट्विटर फॉलोअर्स फर्जी हैं।

• रिपोर्ट्स में बताया गया है कि करीब 18,000 ट्विटर अकाउंट BJP के लिए 'Fake News' फैलाते हैं।

• इंस्टाग्राम पर भारतीय इन्फ्लुएंसर्स के लगभग 16 मिलियन खाते नकली हैं।

Referring to Rahul Gandhi’s recently concluded Bharat Jodo Yatra, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said that when the yatra was in progress, the BJP IT cell spread a lie that the girl who raised “Pakistan Zindabad” slogans had met Rahul Gandhi. Similarly, a statement by Rahul Gandhi was also wrongly linked to the Udaipur massacre by the BJP’s IT Cell.

Congress spokespersons further alleged that the BJP's tall claims on Nagaland's development were far from the ground reality and that the northeastern state was still grappling with widespread unemployment, and a lack of good roads, electricity and water supply. Two big cities of the state, Dimapur and Kohima, are still struggling with erratic electricity, poor water supply and bad roads, due to which the situation in other cities of the state is even worse and the youth do not have employment, they alleged. 

Attacking the Modi government for not answering questions related to the Gautam Adani in the wake of the Hindenburg Report, the Congress leaders urged political parties to join hands to bust the BJP's ecosystem of fake news saying the disinformation is strategically connected to the electoral process.
