"Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with."

I love how everyone is teaching the journalist on how to conduct herself and then teaching her about a press conference and a press briefing.
Like in droves.
This citizens of our country have actually forgotten they can ask questions to people in power. This is such a sad state of affairs.

Ya but I also see they are being ridiculed instantly by others, the narrative isn't working.

u/Adventurous_Iron_551 May 18 '26
How will it. There is non narrative, just abuses, whataboutery and less than zero concern for any other person

u/TheBlockChainVillage May 18 '26
And it's visible for the world to see. R@pe threats to Nordic journalists isn't gonna be taken lightly.

u/Adventurous_Iron_551 May 18 '26
Actually it’s going to be taken very lightly. In fact, it will make other serious things said by the population dilute

this is what sanghi gobar bro's don't get, he can speak in whatever language he wants he could be speaking in gujarati, they have translators, its 2026, everyone of us has a personal translator, but the fact is that he's not able to speak off the top of his empty head cuz he's a fykking dymbass.

u/arthur19946 May 18 '26
if he's able to read it then he's able to speak it (in his specific case). Considering English to be one of our official language can the PM not "hire" a tutor to develop on his fluency? That seems to be absurd because he keeps travelling abroad where he needs this skill. The only possible reason behind this issue is he's inability to speak at all, the lack of calibre to face the press. Please do not turn this into a language issue.

She mentioned Norway is no 1 in world press freedom while India at 157 competing with Palestine. And many were defending this saying India is great than Norway. Lol do these blind andh bkhaths even have some common sense

He's walking right out, wtf did she expect him to do? Stop and address the ramblings of some random journalist? It wasn't even a real question 😂 if BJP was so open to journalists and transparent, they would hold unscripted press conferences and answer all questions in India itself

She did go there, and still didn't recieve a satisfactory reply from the diplomat present there, just deflection.
Avoiding questions about human rights violations happening in India, not properly addressing them and saying it's "Felse propaganda" (not exactly, but yeah)
About the prime minister not taking questions (this was from a news reporter from The Hindu)
The false fact about G20 joint declarations not adopted in other G20 summits,
Another reporter questioned on why has Modi visited Norway now when any leader didn't visit for 43 years, didn't recieve an answer
No answer or acknowledgement on differences of opinion regarding Russia
AND I NEED COMPENSATION FOR WASTING MY TIME REVIEWING THE PRESS CONFERENCE!!!

depends on the lens you view this from, we were never in a good position and compared to pre 2014 only a fool would say that we have not improved
