Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government faces accusations of hypocrisy regarding allegations of foreign funding against protesters. Critics point to the government's own use of opaque electoral bonds, which allowed for anonymous and potentially foreign contributions to political parties, particularly the BJP. This system, recently struck down by the Supreme Court, facilitated significant funding for the ruling party. The article argues that the government's claims of foreign conspiracies are a deflection from domestic issues and its own questionable financial practices in politics.
