Reproduced below are links to two report-cum-comments.

The first one clinically scans the controversy over Modi's latest (flop?) show at the WEF.

The latter, offers a rather comprehensive glimpse into the flood of reactions available on the net.

I. <https://scroll.in/video/1015290/pm-narendra-modis-wef-speech-interruption-teleprompter-glitch-or-audio-link-problem>.

II. <https://scroll.in/video/1015373/watch-pm-modis-interrupted-wef-speech-inspires-cartoonists-and-meme-makers>.

(For a ready look at the contribution of the toll army: <https://twitter.com/Mehboobp1/status/1483279738689191940?t=jCX8M4iOrUq5FVbZy4NgjA&s=19>.)

In this context, also relevant:

I. नक़ल के लिए भी अकल चाहिए: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa7SfpkhKrs>.

II. <https://youtu.be/884yI_lf71M>.

Was it teleprompter's fault!!!?

III. How " strength" is spelled by the genius, that too, while reading out a chit - right before him, at a highest level meeting with China: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4IFJzmsmxA>.

IV. One of the rare occasions when there's no prompter: <https://youtu.be/sGpTkxdJG2E>.

Mistake not, there're scores of others.

Here's the latest (a Freudian slip?): <https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sxxlaDkFdvE&feature=share>.

(The teleprompter can hardly be identified as the villain.)

On top of that, no press conference in eight years as Prime Minister.

A record of sorts.

Two notable aspects that emerge out of this latest clash are:

I. The "organsised" campaign against the incumbent evil regime is almost entirely spearheaded by the Congress.

II. In parallel with, but quite independent of, the "organised", there's also no less important and a very large current of diffused resistance - which expresses itself via the alternative media, when not physically on the streets.
