SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
A news portal run by China’s state cabinet has published an article by a Pakistani journalist describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a ” Hindu fundamentalist”. Modi will need to control his “extremist” allies if he wants to get along with China, the article written by Pakistani journalist Sajjad Malik said.
Although the publisher, China.org.cn, says articles in the ‘Opinion’ column do not necessarily reflect the publisher’s views, it is significant that a site directly under the government’s control would publish it on the day the country’s President landed in India.
“Xi’s visit is also a test case for Modi to resolve the contradictions of his double role as a representative of fundamentalist lobbies in India and as a statesman for the world,” the article by Malik, a regular writer on the website, said.
