Expanded Network Targets Political Dissent Amidst Comedian Show Cancellations in India
The emergence of new actors, including Devendra Fadnavis, Piyush Goyal, and Kiren Rijiju, within an existing network targeting political dissent, coincides with the cancellation of comedian Pulkit Mani's shows for mimicking PM Modi at a Rahul Gandhi event. This suggests a broadening and more coordinated effort by the Indian government and its allies to suppress comedic criticism. The involvement of these additional political figures indicates an escalating, systematic pressure campaign on cultural platforms and individual artists perceived as critical of the ruling establishment.
