Dr. Asma Shakir Khawaja, Executive Director, Center for International Strategic Studies, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (CISS AJK), appeared on PTV News program Kashmir Today hosted by Javeed Hassan Bhatti.
The discussion focused on the ongoing struggles for justice, and how the Bihar elections have exposed the façade of India’s so-called democracy.
Key Highlights:
Modi’s propaganda machinery continues to manipulate public opinion for electoral gains.
🗳️ Bihar elections have exposed deep-rooted contradictions within India’s democratic narrative.
⚙️ Pre-election rigging begins long before polling* — millions of genuine voters deleted under the guise of “voter list rationalization.”
💻 Electronic voting machines have become tools of control rather than transparency.
📜 Citizenship laws and voter purges are being weaponized to disenfranchise long-settled communities.
🚩 Manufactured nationalism hides the erosion of democratic integrity.
