A silly and fabricated charge cooked up by the Lie Manufacturing Machines.
The Zee TV is, of course, not the only one to spread this canard.
Moitra, in fact, had specifically highlighted the poster on display at the Holocaust Museum in the US - as the source of the early signs of fascism listed out by her, in order to validate her grim warnings.
The campaign only shows up how much she has been able to rattle.
As Shashi Tharoor has so very aptly pointed out that their desperate attempts to discredit her is only providing her message more traction.
《On Wednesday, Moitra issued a statement herself and said, "Plagiarism is when one does not disclose one's source. My source as mentioned categorically in my speech was the poster from the Holocaust Museum created by the political scientist Dr. Laurence W. Brit pointing out the 14 signs of early fascism. I found 7 signs relevant to India and spoke at length about each of them."
The Trinamool Congress MP added, "This is a clear attempt by the troll army of the MP and certain media houses owing allegiance to the ruling party to obfuscate the real issues.
"My speech came from the heart and every Indian who has shared it did so from their heart. The hits were organic, not BOT controlled. I repeat," Moitra's statement said.
She also found support in Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who said, "Glad @MahuaMoitra has so unsettled the extreme right in India that they have given her message more traction with their falsehoods."》
