Tucked away at the bottom of this report is
The mild terms 'media coverage of the Manipur conflict, especially by the local press" and '“misreporting” by the local press' have been used for the Indian version of Radio Rwanda in Manipur.
The majority of Indian press & media, both local & national serve as tools of the ruling political party, the BJP, The Indian name for this lapdog press & media is godimedia (godi = lap, and it rhymes with modi). Godimedia spreads disinfo, misinfo, and propaganda for the the BJP. Their lies incite peopple & mobs into violence, inflame an already agitated mob, and provide the fuel to ignite the genocidal fire & keep it burning. In return, they get lucrative ads from the govt and their owners are not investigated by the tax authorities. or shut down by the govt.
Despite all the barbarism, the deaths, the tortures, the lynchings, the gangrapes, the wails of the survivors, the outrage from all India and the world, Manipur's Radio Rwanda has done & continues to do its bit to fan the flames of ethnic & communal cleansing.
