New York Times job advertisement seeks an anti-India and anti-Modi candidate

• Expects the candidate to contribute to changing the regime
• The Correspondent will be appointed in New Delhi
• It should come as no surprise if the so-called intellectuals, communists, and the members of the Congress party apply for the job.

• The Central Government should show courage to permanently ban all such foreign newspapers in India that deliberately publish anti-India content
• Would NYT dare to post such advertisements for China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, and others?
• NYT has joined the wagon of US-based social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook in carrying out a series of anti-India activities. The Government should not ignore these developments. It is in the national interest for the Government to ban such media and for the public to boycott it
