The Indian media's portrayal of the situation in Bangladesh following the ousting of the previous government has been a subject of controversy. This article explores the potential motivations behind the alleged propaganda, including distracting from the democratic uprising, stoking anti-Indian sentiments, and furthering political divisions within India.

The article also highlights contrasting approaches of Indian politicians towards Bangladesh, emphasizing the difference in attitudes between BJP and Congress leaders. Overall, the piece raises questions about the ethics of such reporting and calls for responsible journalism to avoid damaging the relationship between India and Bangladesh.
