#I.N.D.I.A. Falling: The Unravelling of an Alliance - As Congress fails to emerge as a unifying force, allies are retreating into the politics of self-preservation after major constituents like the Trinamool Congress and DMK suffered electoral defeats and even ruptures. The I.N.D.I.A. bloc’s meeting in Delhi did not break new ground while BJP anticipates a weaker Opposition when parliament meets for the monsoon session, writes @Ullekh t.ly/Hsw5F

A few points from a long statement by the Newsclick news outlet which has been slapped with terrorism charges in India and forced to shut office without serving those arrested a copy of the FIR ‘A Government that has not been able to substantiate any charges against Newsclick despite being in possession of all its information, documentation and communications, needed a motivated and bogus article published in the New York Times @nytimes to invoke the draconian UAPA and attempt to shut down and stifle independent and fearless voices that portray the story of the real India – of peasants, of labourers, of farmers, and other oft-ignored sections of society.’ @MaraHvistendahl shame on you. ‘Newsclick’s office has also been sealed in a blatant attempt at preventing us from continuing our reporting.’ ‘Newsclick has been targeted by a series of actions by various agencies of the Government of India since 2021. Its offices and residences of officials have been raided by the Enforcement Directorate, the Economic Offences Wing of Delhi Police and the Income Tax Department.’
