Single handly destroyed india-norway relationship... @jonasgahrstore Mr. President, you should have invited credible journalists, not street-level propagandists pretending to be journalists. @norwayinindia @IndiainNorway
Dear @HelleLyngSvends thank you on behalf of India’s Opposition & millions of Indians for doing what our own media consistently fails at - asking questions of power & seeking accountability. Press briefing / Press conference - Potato/Potatoe. No answers, No truths.
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to. Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba. It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
Journalism is sometimes confrontational. We seek answers. If any interview subject, especially with power, do not answer what I asked, I will try to interrupt and get a more focused response. That is my job & duty. I want answers and not just talking points.
Full blown clash at MEA presser as reporter asks "why should India be trusted". MEA's Secy West @AmbSibiGeorge responds by India's role in providing global help during Covid, India's constitution, fundamental rights. The reporter leaves the presser, then later comes back.
Modi deserves to be humiliated everywhere he goes. He has not given a single press conference in 12 years since he became the Prime Minister. He fails to fulfill the basic transparency and accountability requirements of being a leader. I would like to encourage foreign journalists from other European countries to ask him questions wherever they see him, just like @HelleLyngSvends did. Embarrass him so much that he is forced to show some accountability in front of people. You will be doing great service for India’s progress.
@bainjal I was just getting water and came back 😊 thank you for your perspective.
