    And then there’s the question about how Western nations should react to the cocaine on a plane allegation. /s

    Edit: added the /s, since I guess the article describing the allegation as “disinformation” didn’t make it clear.

      Using people not open affiliated to his political party to caste scurrilous & defamatory allegations on his opponents is one of Modi’s modus operandi. It makes his opponent go on the back-foot while Modi can maintain plausible denial over the allegations. The puppet who carries out the hit job gets rewarded for it or is often threatened to do it.

      In this case, the puppet is Ex-Sudan Ambassador Deepak Vohra and Modi govt has used India’s federal investigative agency, the CBI, to threaten him with in a case of alleged financial bungling in Indian diplomatic missions.

      Mafia tactics are predictable, and 9.5 years of Medi regime has taught Indians to look behind the smoke & mirrors to spot the puppet strings.
