Washington: US newspaper 'The New York Times' has said that the policies of the NDA government led by current PM Narendra Modi in India are raising serious questions about freedom of speech. The remarks from the newspaper are in the details of advertisements for recruitment of journalists. Advertising for South Asia Business Correspondent (in New Delhi) was taken out from the handle of NYT on professional networking site LinkedIn. The job description section said, "India will soon overtake China in terms of population.”
It further says, "At the domestic level, India is a melting pot of people and languages facing difficult questions of class and wealth inequality. It has an educated and ambitious middle class reputed by Amazon, Walmart and other major international companies. A new class of Business Tycoons from India has won the hearts of the audience in Wall Street and London. Yet millions of people in India are struggling for a better life for their children and India's fast growing economy is showing signs of stalling."
The advertisement also says, "India's future is now at a crossroads. Modi is advocating a self-reliant, Bahubali nationalism focusing on the hindu majority population of the country. This approach puts them in place with the inter-religious, multicultural goals of the founders of modern India. The government's growing efforts to suppress online speech and media discourse have raised big questions about balancing security and privacy issues with free speech. Technology is both a barrier with a help."
