Before discussing the March 17th press conference from an Indian government official, I would like to point out that the Narendra Modi government’s weakness is that whenever a crisis arises (one of the officials stated that in the uploaded video in this tweet…”Situation still remains concerning/हालात अभी भी चिंताजनक बने हुए हैं”), they stay silent and avoid press conferences because their leaders knew that ministers would make mistakes and their remarks would be against the Narendra Modi government.
However, when things are going well, Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be seen speaking for two to four hours on each topic (Some of his speeches begin at 10 a.m. each day, while others start at 7 p.m., including Saturdays and Sundays) , and ministers would be seen holding press conferences.
When the situation was resolved after a few hours or days, Narendra Modi’s government ministers stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi works silently, and a few news anchors from Adani, Ambani, Birla, Jain, and Agarwal-led big corporate media houses also stated that Narendra Modi works silently because he believes in delivering.
Let’s get right to the point: who is the person from the Indian government who provides information to news channels, one of which Birla invested crores in before 2014, and who reported yesterday that a third ship is on its way to India from the Persian Gulf and described it as a “diplomatic win” based on that person’s information?
However, on March 17, at a live press conference in New Delhi’s National Media Centre on the inter-ministerial briefing on recent developments in West Asia, an officer from the shipping ministry was questioned. However, an officer replied, “I will share information with you once I have information about the ship.”
To conclude, I would like to state that I never write or tweet anything after being instructed to do so by a Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha MP, who then retweets the tweets. And the reason I’m saying this is because of a recent event in which a news agency reporter said something through his Twitter account about a national party leader during the first phase of the budget session in Parliament, and then that MP immediately retweeted the reporter’s tweets.
And, believe me, I was not shocked to see three Adani News Channel representatives at the March 17 press conference.
NOTE: The Persian Gulf, often known as the Arabian Gulf, is a West Asian Mediterranean Sea. Situated between Iran (#Persia) and the Arabian Peninsula, the body of water is an extension of the #ArabianSea and the wider Indian Ocean. The #StraitOfHormuz connects it to the Gulf of Oman in the east. The northwest coastline is formed by the Shatt al-Arab river delta.
