This government deserves all the brickbat it can get on information warfare as it can.
That "Na koi ghussa blah blah", even though "clarified" later, was a colossal "how not to word your speech", till date i do not understand as to why it had to be worded that way. If it was about "CCP sensitivities"
, we are seeing as to how that is panning out now. If it was due to some other reason then that is/was equally worrying as well. Yes, i understand that at that time we still had some of our people with CCP.
Compare the CCP reaction to an alleged act of insult to their troops (detention of CCP troops at Tawang, which GOI actually denied) to ours. The fact that there is not even an "anon source" saying anything speaks volumes.
I will be surprised if the opposition does not use this opportunity to the hilt & they should. Fact that "deshbhakat" uses Choohassini Haider & the Hindoo (that carried out full page C1CP ads & whose editor visited T1ibet & showered praises on C1CP) should not be a surprise, this is GOI's information vacuum that is at fault.
It's almost like the CCP wants India to release some media & India is desperately trying not to. Perhaps, as pointed out by another user, GOI might think that it will lead to a further deterioration in ties by starting a chain of events, which GOI at the moment does not want.
