Prime minister Narendra Modi after the Gujarat election made a speech in December 2022 where he mentioned that despite anti-incumbency factors of 25 years, people have outrightly voted for the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and created history by sharing affection and belief in BJP policies. He had warned the party workers to get prepared for the near future as BJP and his government shall face an onslaught, charges and bombardment not only from the critics within India but also from outside the country. Prime Minister might have some inputs from intelligence agencies that were enough to alert his colleagues and party men in lieu of anticipated challenges from the critics and opponents who have been primed and equipped well to sharpen their attacks. Capital TVs channel, chief editor Dr Maneesh Kumar in his narration says that in September 2022 three meetings were organized in Delhi at 3 different places namely Motibaag, Bahadur shah zuffer road at the residence of a renowned advocate, and in an embassy situated in the southwest of the capital where the plan to defeat Modi in 2024 elections was hatched. The intelligentsia, experts in election campaigns, lobbies of pharma and petroleum-based products, journalists etc, mainly the Indian origin assembled for “Regime Change Operation”. It was impressed upon to spend 6 million dollars on multifaceted instrumentation of electronic, print, public relationships, business lobbies, mass media etc spreading worldwide including China, USA, Britain, European countries, Middle East, Pakistan and many other places. The agenda was to be activated and executed by September 2023 for 180 days: however, the game project leaked and intelligence agencies came into action.
Since Narendra Modi has taken as prime minister in 2014 he and the BJP Government has been attacked by opposition parties particularly Congress, left-liberals and by foreign agencies particularly from the USA and the western world. The fake and false narratives frequently are generated to dent and tarnish Modi and India from time to time to confuse the public and make impediments in the progress of the country. Series of conspiracies, which were hatched on the unnatural ground were blown out by the current of wind of facts. The narratives true or false were raised to concrete plans to be performed and have been given the name ‘Toolkits’ and during the last 8 years, we have been accustomed to listening or reading in newspapers and media very much about”Toolkit”.
TOOLKIT
In politics and the political world, toolkits have been used by social justice and human campaigners to provide protest avenues to raise awareness and suggest studies to mobilize protesters. The political toolkits have been used by major protests such as the Occupy Wall Street protest of 2016, the Black lives Matter of 2020, the Hong Kong protests of 2019, India’s anti-CAA ( Citizens Amendment Act) protests of 2019-20 and farmer’s year-long agitation Rafal aircraft deal etc. The motive of the tool kit used by teachers, journalists, academicians, armed forces, government agencies etc. is to make full use of resources for team members in one place and formulate the schemes and projects to coordinate for faster acquisition and execution of the assigned tasks. With the advent of the New Era, the toolkits have changed their design and now the speeches and pamphlets have been replaced by digital Toolkits.
SIGNIFICANCE OF DIGITAL TOOLKITS
The significance of a digital tool kit is that it spreads messages for and wide, and facilitates the passage of directions to both online and on-ground supporters to unite and coordinate for the accomplishment of specific work.
DIGITAL TOOLKIT GUIDE AND ACTION
CAA protest tool kits shared on Whats App suggested Twitter hashtags or digital campaigning, places to hold protest and guide on what to do and what to carry if detained by police. They provided ideas to those willing to provide food water or medicine to protesters and also encourage sympathizers to find protests happening in their neighbourhood.
HISTORY OF SOME FORMAL AND NON-FORMAL TOOLKITS IN INDIA
The political Toolkits were more prevalent when Congress led Government in combination with Left-liberal Socialist, Muslin league and others was overthrown and a new regime of so-called rightist BJP led Government took over.
Anti-CAA Movement
This Citizen Amendment Act was enacted on December 2019 for the settlement of non-Muslims ( Hindus, Sikhs, Christians etc), from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, who have been subjected to targeted violence by Islamic fundamentalists and wanted to come to India for settlement in lieu to Liaquat-Nehru Pact. Some opposition parties and groups while talking about the advantage, were successful in highlighting this opportunity into another shade. The false narratives were coined to exploit Muslims, the capital city was seized and a form of anarchy was created that led to communal riots with a loss of 53 innocent lives.
Farmers Agitation
A young Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg supported the Farmer’s protest in India through a series of tweets was the Toolkit which was thrown from abroad and caught by the agitators. Nikita, Shantanu, and Disha were the creators of the document, and organised meetings in zoom group with pro-khalistani elements, on 11 January 2021, just 15 days ahead of the republic day that led to violence on 26th January and tarnished the image of India.
Agnipath and Agniveers scheme
The Government of India on 14 June 2022 introduced a “duty style in the scheme” for the recruitment of soldiers below the rank of commissioned officers into all three services of armed forces both males and females. The personnel recruited in this scheme were given the name ‘Agni Veers’ meaning Fire-Warriors. In this scheme, the Indian government planned to recruit 40,000 to 50,000 new personnel every year. The violent protests were organised by the miscreants, and separatists supported by anti-Indian and anti-government forces on 16th June. The train services were disrupted to a great extent and by 17 June 12 trains were set on fire and a lot of national property ransacked.
Toolkits of the Recent Past
BBC Documentary:
The readers know about Gujarat violence and communal riots that had erupted in 2002 during Narendra Modi’s regime as Chief minister from 2001 to 2014 and he has often been accused of not stopping violence against Muslims deliberately, although the Supreme court found no evidence against Modi’s collaboration and involvement in the massacre and exempted him from this allegation. BBC has released a documentary to dent and distort Modi’s image for the deliberate genocide of Muslims. What is the motto of making a documentary? Is it not a conspiracy to create another “Godhra” and subsequently fabricate another large-scale riot for another massacre? In the recent past when the Income Tax department invaded the BBC office for a survey, the opposition raised hue and cry and took a stand in support of the BBC on pretext of the oppression of the voice of media. This battle wouldn’t likely stop at this point and may take another turn, although it is an established fact that BBC more then often propagates against India.
Hindenburg Report
In desperation, the Toolkit gang unfurled another bombshell on Modi to denounce and tarnish his image in the public mind to dethrone him by the 2024 general elections. The war on this issue is still going on. The opposition has raised hue and cry in both houses of parliament and now the Modi government agrees to the Supreme court’s proposal for setting up a panel headed by a former judge to strengthen regulatory mechanisms, however, the war on this front shall take different colours in near future.
Overall, it is concluded, in this article that since the last decade, India’s multifaceted progress and emergence as a formidable force in various sectors of development is not being endured by some present world powers and want India to remain in a position suited to them. There are political parties and many agencies in the country too who are in distress and desperate to attain political power. It is a fundamental right of the opposition to criticize the policies of the government, but it should be healthy criticism and in favour of the national interest. The trouble starts when the opposition crosses ‘Lakhshaman Rekha’ and inadvertently the interest of the nation is compromised. Recently a new toolkit of George Soros’s ” Open Society Foundations” emerged on the political scenario, and what colours it shows is in store for the future.)
