RSS mouthpiece resorts to copy-paste propaganda against farmers – By Basant Kumar
Since farmers from Punjab and elsewhere arrived at Delhi’s borders late last year to protest against the Narendra Modi government’s new farm laws, the incumbent dispensation has spared no trick to vilify and delegitimize them.
The latest such attempt is the April edition of Panchjanya, Hindi mouthpiece of the RSS, the mothership of Modi’s BJP and sundry Hindu supremacist groups collectively known as the Sangh Parivar.
The magazine features 14 farmers who it claims have been benefiting from Modi’s agriculture policies and are leading India towards “change and prosperity”…. Newslaundry found that the stories of all 14 farmers are lifted from sundry publications, mostly verbatim. The RSS magazine even lifted the pictures, without crediting the original sources….
