BJP attacks Oppn on 'NewsClick'

New Delhi:The BJP on Tuesday attacked Opposition parties in and outside Parliament over a leading US daily's report of Chinese funding to a news portal here and alleged that they might have formed their new alliance at China's prodding to target India's security and unity. BJP member Sudhanshu Trivedi raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha and questioned the Congress for its alleged links with the portal, noting that a New York Times report alleged that "NewsClick" received Chinese funding to spread propaganda against India. Trivedi then targeted the Congress about its alleged links with the portal, saying the party supported it when the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids on its premises over various charges, including money laundering, in 2021.
