Kejriwal: Modi Fears People, New Law Silences Social Media Critics!
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal alleges PM Modi's government is using a new law to suppress dissent. Posts critical of the government could be deleted in 3 hours, raising concerns about freedom of speech.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has launched a scathing attack on the central government, alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is employing a new law to silence critics on social media. Addressing his supporters, Kejriwal claimed that under this new legislation, social media platforms would be compelled to remove any post flagged by the government within a mere three hours.
According to Kejriwal, this law is specifically designed to quash dissent against the government on crucial issues such as paper leaks, the controversial ethanol policy, and alleged corruption. "If you speak against Modi ji, the government, paper leaks, the ethanol issue or corruption, your post will be deleted within three hours," he stated. In contrast, he alleged that posts containing abusive language or targeting women, if associated with those in power, face no action.
Kejriwal further asserted that Prime Minister Modi's actions stem from a growing fear of the populace, particularly after recent protests involving Gen Z and demonstrations held at Jantar Mantar. "Modi ji fears the people of this country. He fears the youth, children and women. Ever since the protests at Jantar Mantar, he has been gripped by fear," Kejriwal alleged.
He warned that suppressing public opinion would not resolve the government's challenges but would instead fuel public resentment. "The solution is not to silence people's voices. If the government does good work, people will praise it on their own... But if you suppress criticism instead of addressing people's concerns, public anger will only grow," he cautioned. Kejriwal concluded by stating that governments that instill fear in their own citizens cannot long endure, implying that such tactics would ultimately lead to their downfall.
