Fact Check: The New York Times BLATANTLY Lied about Modi Government Mismanagement of Covid Response in India

The New York Times recently published an article claiming that the Indian Government mismanaged Covid-19. This article was unsurprisingly used by the Indian Left-Liberal propaganda machine to target Narendra Modi. The Left-Liberal propaganda machine, which includes media houses, political parties, and journalists like “The Wire”, “The Print”, “The Caravan”, “The Indian National Congress”, and of course wannabe journalist “Arfa Khanum Sherwani” used this article to say that the Modi Government is a failure and accusing the government of crimes. This is, of course, far from the truth or even reality. We, at Onlyfact, will debunk these unsubstantiated claims in this article.

Upon reading the article published by The New York Times, we realized and were not surprised to see that The New York Times provides no data whatsoever to back up these fraudulent and downright dishonest claims. Now that we have established the lack of data, let us look at what the truth is. The recovery rate from Covid-19 in India is greater than 93 percent, this is largely due to the world’s largest vaccination drive that India has undertaken. India is vaccinating an estimated 20 million people a day. With a population of 1.37 billion people, the number of deaths is far lower than in the USA which houses 328 million people.

The Indian public has willfully co-operated with the government in self-quarantine and has opted to take the vaccine without conspiracy theories flying about microchips in the vaccine. Lastly, we believe that the Covid death numbers published by the USA might not be true because the New York Times did not report the horrible management of known sexual predator Ex-Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo willfully housed Covid-19 patients in retirement centers, killing an estimated 15,000 people.

How did the New York Times write this article with no proof or data you ask? They largely relied on the accounts of three individuals namely Dr. Anup Agarwal, Dr. Naman Shah, and Dr. Shahid Jameel. We decided to Investigate the three mentioned men and found that all three share a particular ideology and subscribe to the Urban Communist gang. 

Dr. Anup Agarwal and Dr. Naman Shah have previously worked at Chhattisgarh-based NGO Jan Swasthya Sahyog. The NGO shares a left-leaning ideology and is affiliated with figures like Harsh Mander, Madha Patakar, Tista Setalvad, and Ravish Kumar. These are well-known figures who spread communal hatred and misinformation for a living.

Yogesh Jain with the help of then Commissioner of Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh Harsh Mander established the Jan Swasthya Sahyog NGO. 

We dug into the NGO funding and found that its biggest donor is Tata Trust. Tata Trust is known to fund many leftist propaganda websites. Another funding partner of the NGO is Oxfam India.

The CEO of Oxfam India, Amitabh Behar, was also a part of Harsh Mander’s NGO. Oxfam India Also funds Ashoka University‘s Centre for Social Impact and Philanthropy. Please read the below thread to understand the deep connection between Harsh Mander and Oxfam India. This department also receives funds from some big Indian corporate NGOs including Nandan Nilekani and Ajim Premji.

Dr. Shahid Jameel, the third person whose statement has been included in The New York Times report, is a director in one of Ashoka University‘s departments.

Dr. Naman Shah has previously received a fellowship from Paul and Daisy Soros in 2010. Paul Soros is the brother of George Soros from the Open Societies Foundation. George Soros is known for his notorious acts in disrupting economies and trampling on the Sovereignty of various countries in the past and has previously attacked Narendra Modi at the World Economic Forum.

The moral of the Story

The New York Times reporter picked up three people who belong to communist or far-left ideology and prepared a propaganda article. Names like Harsh Mander and Soros which are discussed in our investigation, are already known for their hate against India and Narendra Modi.

Congress IT cell heavily used this propaganda article to target Narendra Modi. All leftist propaganda Journalists and their websites have published this propaganda report and Indians must be educated about such actors and propaganda machines that have vested interests and share hatred towards India and her people. 

Hello, this is Vijay Patel. Currently, many vested interest people and cartels are working to break India with their fake narratives and propaganda. Some fact-checkers even doing fact-checking on the Taliban side. Most of the Digital media is belong to communist ideology and they receive huge funds from big corporates and foreign cartels to support their propaganda.
