The latest cover of the London-based magazine The Economist has sparked a controversy in India. Titled 바카라Intolerant India바카라, the cover criticises the BJP-led Modi government over Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).
바카라How India's prime minister and his party are endangering the world's biggest democracy. Our cover this week,바카라 The Economist tweeted on Thursday.
The article titled 바카라바카라, says India바카라s 200m Muslims fear the prime minister is building a Hindu state.
바카라By undermining the secular principles of the constitution, Mr Modi바카라s latest initiatives threaten to do damage to India바카라s democracy that could last for decades. They are also likely to lead to bloodshed,바카라 the article says.
The article says that 바카라Mr Modi and the BJP are likely to benefit politically by creating divisions over religion and national identity.바카라
바카라The citizenship row is only the latest in a series of affronts, from the bjp바카라s lionising of vigilantes thought to have killed Muslims to the collective punishment of the people of the Kashmir valley, who have suffered arbitrary arrests, smothering curfews and an internet blackout for five months,바카라 it further reads.
The BJP hit back, with party leader Vijay Chauthaiwale calling The Economist 바카라arrogant바카라, and 바카라still living in a colonial era.바카라
바카라We thought the Brits had left in 1947! But the editors of @TheEconomist are still living in in colonial era. They are furious when 600m Indians do not follow their explicit instructions of not voting Modi,바카라 he tweeted.
In the last few weeks, the country has witnessed violent protests against the CAA and proposed NRC.
The CAA provides citizenship to non-Muslim minorities who fled Muslim-majority countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014 due to" religious persecution or fear of religious persecution."
