One wrong decision at a time. Starting with demonetization.

The economy has tanked and our minister attributes that to an act of god rather than take responsibility of the ill-conceived partisan measures.

Mishandling Covid.

Giving a fee pass to cow-urine-prevents-Covid bandwagon while planting stories about Jamaat being a conspiracy to spread Covid in India. This plays to their political base but has been recently called out by the court. Court has declared these to be cases of politically motivated misreporting.

Filling WhatsApp groups by fakenews and fake incidents of Muslims killing/burning/human-sacrificing Hindus to incite more communal violence which plays to the ruling parties narrative and a polarized society, the latter earns them more votes. Close ties with BJP cell and WA comes convenient.

Doing nothing to give protection to medical staff against violence (Covid related) other than platitudes. The perpetrators of such violence gets bail immediately, whereas university professors get jailed under made up charges of terrorism that conveniently do not require a proof in court and is nonbailable. Essentially throwing the medical staff under the bus for their own political gains.

Incarcerating sources of credible criticism by abuse of laws that do not require allegations to be proved in court.

Looking the other way while hate crime against Muslims and other beef eaters increases. Stopping the record of hate crime by government order, so that one cannot point to statistics.

Moving towards a "papers please" society.

I don't maintain the urls of the news I read so I don't have the links immediately available. However with a few hours on google, one should be able to get to the primary sources of the examples I have called out.



proof??
