“Can we see a photograph of this Satyagraha?” Liberals suffer a glorious meltdown after PM Modi talks about participating in Bangladesh liberation struggle

Liberal Meltdown, Narendra Modi, Modi's Bangladesh Visit, Shashi Tharoor, Bangladesh

In his first foreign country visit since the pandemic began last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked upon his two day Bangladesh visit yesterday. Whilst delivering a speech in Dhaka during the golden jubilee celebration of Bangladesh’s Independence and the birth centenary of its founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, PM Modi remarked that he participated in the Satyagraha for freedom for Bangladesh, for which he and his friends were arrested.

“I was 20-22 years old when I, along with my friends, did Satyagrah for the freedom of Bangladesh. I had even been arrested for the same” said PM Modi.

No sooner did the PM came out with the harmless statement — a haughty, egotist Congress party came down on the leader of the country for supposedly stealing the thunder from Indira Gandhi and the grand old party when PM Modi never said that it was Satyagraha that won Bangladesh its freedom. The usual suspects of the liberal brigade also hopped on the bandwagon to deride him and the Jana sangha for its small contribution to the freedom struggle of Bangladesh.

Usual detractor of the Modi government and a closeted Congressi, Nikhil Wagle tweeted to see the photograph of the Satyagraha.

The Twitter users took Wagle’s request seriously but instead of a photo, which could have been deliberately misinterpreted by Mr Wagle — shared a good two minute video from the AP archives showcasing Jana Sangh’s satyagraha.

Moreover, the netizens also sent a book to the liberals where PM Modi’s participation in the Satyagraha was clearly mentioned.

Ashoka University and its ‘woke’ left-leaning professors seem to know all the right buttons to press to stay in the limelight. Srinath Raghvan appeared to have forgotten to glance through the history pages and in an attempt to sound relevant, tweeted this gibberish. “The claim that ANYONE did satyagraha for the freedom of Bangladesh and were arrested is too ridiculous to require refutation.”

What might come as a surprise to Srinath Raghvan, former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee was conferred ‘Liberation war honour’ by the Government of Bangladesh in 2015 for his “active role” in its independence struggle and consolidating friendship with India. The citation in the honour clearly mentions that Jana Sangh organised a Satyagraha movement and even conducted a massive rally in front of the parliament.

When caught with his pants down, the liberal professor instantly changed the goal post and tweeted that Jana Sangh batting for recognition of the Bangladesh provisional government was different from satyagraha for ‘freedom of Bangladesh’. Such visible hypocrisy and willingness to go to any lengths to prove their lies seems to be the usual tropes of a liberal professor teaching in Ashoka University.

Congress’ spell bee champion, Shashi Tharoor without going through the speech of PM Modi, tweeted “International education: our PM is giving Bangladesh a taste of Indian ‘fake news’. The absurdity is that everyone knows who liberated Bangladesh.”

When called out for his blatant lies in the tweet, Mr Tharoor supposedly went through the speech and then came up with a sorry apology.

“I don’t mind admitting when I’m wrong. Yesterday, on the basis of a quick reading of headlines &tweets, I tweeted “everyone knows who liberated Bangladesh,” implying that @narendramodi had omitted to acknowledge IndiraGandhi. It turns out he did. Sorry!” tweeted Tharoor.

Congress’s recently incubated IT cell was in its elements in echoing the sentiments of the liberal cabal without any facts — a trait we have come to associate with Congress’s scion Rahul Gandhi.

 

While liberals are the same people who only tend to give Mahatma Gandhi the credit for India’s freedom because he did multiple satyagraha movements but openly disparage the satyagraha movement of Jana Sangh, saying what difference it could have made in the independence struggle of Bangladesh.

Such duplicity is rather hard to digest but it is something upon which the entire left ecosystem thrives on. The manufacturing of the entire controversy could have been avoided but thanks to the liberals, even the fence sitters in the RW now discernibly know of Sangh’s involvement in the freedom struggle of Bangladesh.
