US rejects allegations by BJP, says they are 'disappointing' https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/us-rejects-allegations-by-bjp-says-they-are-disappointing-101733642197744.html  The US spokeman said "The US government works with independent organisations on programming that supports professional development and capacity building training for journalists. This programming does not influence the editorial decisions or direction of these organisations.”

“It has always been the US State Department behind this agenda...In fact, 50% of OCCRP's funding comes directly from the US State Department,” one of the posts by the BJP on X said.

The OCCRP, based in Amsterdam, is a network of investigative journalists that focuses on reporting on organised crime and corruption. In a statement issued on December 2, OCCRP denied that is influenced by its donors. “OCCRP has no limits on its journalism and no donor influences our reporting,” the statement said.

त्रुटि सुधार - इस वीडियो में हमने ग़लती से कह दिया कि सांसद निशिकांत दुबे ने राहुल गांधी पर संसद में निजी टिप्पणी की है। यह जानकारी ग़लत है, यह टिप्पणी केंद्रीय मंत्री गिरिराज सिंह ने संसद के बाहर की है। हमने वह पंक्ति हटा दी है। इस ग़लती के लिए हमें खेद है। 

जिस मीडिया संगठन मीडियापार्ट की रिपोर्ट का हवाला देकर बीजेपी ने राहुल गांधी और सोनिया गांधी पर देशद्रोह के आरोप लगाए, उसी संस्थान ने कह दिया है कि बीजेपी उसकी रिपोर्ट के नाम पर झूठी ख़बरें फैला रही है। यह वही मीडियापार्ट है जिसकी रफ़ाल पर की गई खोजी रिपोर्टों को बीजेपी अतीत में अस्वीकार कर चुकी है। बीजेपी ने अमरीकी एजेंसियों और जॉर्ज सोरोस पर भारत के ख़िलाफ़ षड्यंत्र के आरोप लगाए हैं, डीप स्टेट का नाम लिया है। जेपीसी की माँग भी की है। अगर इस मामले में केंद्र की सरकार जेपीसी का गठन करती है तो क्या उम्मीद की जा सकती है कि विपक्ष की माँग को मानते हुए अदाणी मामले में भी जेपीसी का गठन होगा?

The importance of George Soros’s Open Society  https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/george-soros-indian-democracy-modi-remarks-open-society-8454825/  an open society is that in which any one group neither claims to have all the answers nor gets the power to push through those ‘answers’, crushing all opponents along the way....in the 20th century the most serious contest was not between the ‘right’ and the ‘left’ or capitalism and communism. It was between open and closed societies.

Market fundamentalism, Soros argued, is a mindset which reduces virtually all human interactions to transactional, contract-based relationships that must be valued in terms of a single common denominator, money.
