This week on TV Newsance, the Great Leader handed our Godi anchors their favourite new script: the “nanga pradarshan” by Indian Youth Congress (IYC) protesters at the AI Impact Summit. What was actually a small, shirtless protest was blown up into a full-blown national spectacle, complete with breathless debates and dramatic tickers.
In fact, this ‘naked T-shirt conspiracy’ was so serious that it demanded the immediate attention of the Delhi Police, who now have enough time and resources to uncover the ‘Jaish-e-Banyan’ terror module.
In other news, while the Supreme Court has recently ruled that no one can denigrate or vilify a community, an entire film was released that – you guessed it – vilified an entire state and community.
Yes, we’re talking about The Kerala Story 2. It's a film that centres on the ‘love jihad’ conspiracy theory and has nothing to do with Kerala; a film that frames the simple reality of interfaith marriage as a calculated plot.
Also watch:
➜ How a shirtless protest became ‘breaking news’?
