CNN, the American leftist media is known for publishing anti-India narratives and has yet again published a biased article against India. CNN deliberately tried to pass off the blame for the Bangladesh floods on India and it has said gave a suggestion that India should apologise to Bangladesh for overpowering its neighbour.
Even after the fact that New Delhi has twice showed in its true light and noted that floods in Bangladesh have nothing to do with the opening of the Dumbur dam upstream of the Gumti River in Tripura, it has done ground reportage and published an article to show the anti-India narrative.
It is significant to note that many Bangladeshis are spreading an anti-India narrative amid the floods alleging that India has opened the gates of the Dambur Hydroelectric Project in Tripura state.
Apart from netizens, many media houses also alleged that India was behind the floods that have shaken Bangladesh currently. However, India has factually proved these allegations wrong twice.
CNN has also tried to pass off the blame for the flash floods in Bangladesh on India. The CNN anchor claimed during its ground reportage from Bangladesh’s Feni district, ‘Bangladesh has the best early warning systems, but there was no warning in this case’, because of which the Bangladeshis are blaming their neighbour for the flooding. She went further to suggest that India should issue an apology to Bangladesh saying, ‘India denies this and there has been no apology from India’.
SBangladeshi journalist who writes for the Daily Star, Tamjidul Hoque pointed out that CNN is the first well-known international news media that arrived in Bangladesh to do ground reporting after Bangladesh Interim government leader, Mohammed Yunus invited foreign journalists to the country.
The anti-India narrative through CNN reportage, the Bangladeshi journalist wrote, “the (CNN) report says how water levels suddenly increased right after India released water from their dam.” Apart from the anti-India video reportage, on 27th August CNN published article, titled, ‘Millions in this country are stranded by flooding. Many blame their neighbor’, to reinforce their bias and pass off the blame for the Bangladesh floods on India.
There are certain media companies which shows anti-India narrative content and takes no chance in making India’s reputation bad without knowing the true facts.
