These people don't call India to be dismantled in a vacuum. Clearly such thoughts have permeated the Western academia circles (because of Trump) and they do not see India's rise as a good thing. @Jiangnan your thoughts.
Funny thing is - Modi thinks that censoring this guy will stop this train of thought, when the opposite may happen.
The Government of India blocked the X (formerly Twitter) account of Austrian economist Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn on Friday after a controversial post in which he called to " dismantle India."
The account was disabled in India after the ministry of home affairs and ministry of electronics and information technology flagged the post and directed the Elon Musk-led social media platform to withhold its access in the country.
"I call to dismantle India into ExIndia. @narendramodi is Russia's man. We need friends of freedom for @KhalistanNet," Fehlinger-Jahn had written in a post.
The post came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit in Tianjin on Monday. Both leaders also held an hour-long bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the summit, and even shared a car ride to the venue.
Along with the remarks, Fehlinger-Jahn had shared a map depicting almost all Indian territories belonging to Pakistan, Khalistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. The screenshot sparked intense outrage among netizens, who labelled Gunther as a “troll". The government action comes following the outrage.
Earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi responded to a post that shared the screenshot, calling the remarks “insanity”. She also asked the MEA to take up the matter with the Austrian Embassy.
