Meet ‘The Quint’ columnist who wants PM Modi Assassinated

Vikas Malhotra, a columnist with digital news outlets The Quint and Daily O, found himself facing flak from citizens on social media after tweeting that he wished a sniper was around to ‘create history’ during PM Modi’s recent UP election road-show.

Once the tweet was picked up on social media, people were quick to realize that Malhotra is also a columnist for controversial digital outlet The Quint, already facing flak for its role in the murky death of Army jawan Roy Matthew. Most of Malhotra’s articles on The Quint were critical of PM Modi, with the latest one claiming that BJP’s massive win in UP would see the ‘vikas’ agenda being forgotten and conflict/disruption rising instead.

After social media users protested, The Quint hastily deleted the articles by Vikas Malhotra, and founder Raghav Bahl claimed that the tweet wishing for PM’s assassination was not linked to pieces published by his organization.

The offensive tweet has now been deleted by Malhotra, and he has tweeted this clarification –

However, another recent tweet by Malhotra seems to suggest that his current ‘clarification’ notwithstanding, he is an advocate of open expression of ‘venom & abuse.’

A quick search on the internet revealed some more interesting facts.

Vikas Malhotra also writes for DailyO, an opinion site run by the Aroon Purie owned India Today group; his one published article there being critical of demonetization announced by PM Modi last year.

Another interesting fact is that Malhotra is a graduate of the Aligarh Muslim University as his LinkedIn Profile shows.

What drives such ‘liberals’?

The same set of liberals is up in arms if someone even as much as raises a question on Sonia Gandhi’s Italian roots, or her mysterious disease. But Vikas Malhotra’s flippant call for the PM’s assassination might actually find a lot more takers in the left-liberal intelligentsia, as we will show later in this article.

The fact is that Narendra Modi’s meteoric rise on the national scene has totally unsettled the nation’s left-liberal thinkers who have held absolute sway over our polity for 7 decades. As the public discourse gets more democratized, this liberal rage is rising.

With large swathes of the country now firmly behind Narendra Modi in his bid to fundamentally transform the old, decrepit Nehruvian socio-political-economic model, we can expect our left-liberals to increasingly exhibit their intolerance for democracy and team up with all sorts of #BreakingIndia forces to stem this national revival.

The line of thought which Vikas Malhotra has openly expressed, was actually spawned ten years back in a Karan Thapar column for Hindustan Times in the wake of then Gujarat CM Modi’s comprehensive win in the 2007 Gujarat assembly election. The quintessential Lutyenite, Karan Thapar, had called for the ‘sudden removal’ of Modi to stop the challenge to liberal/secular politics that he correctly foresaw from Modi. Then in 2015, Nehru-Gandhi family confidante and senior Congress leader Mani Shanker Aiyer had requested for help to ‘remove Modi‘ and bring Congress back to power, while speaking to a Pakistani TV channel.

We hope the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Home Ministry and security agencies take serious note of such voices – symbolic violence and words almost always precede actual physical violence.

  1. This is what BJP have in stock for you. Dowry. The demand and acceptance of dowries is widespread in BJP ruled state of Rajasthan, in particular amongst the middle class. Even highly educated women are married off to strangers against their will.

    Once married, the woman is expected to remain at home and is confined to the four walls of her husband’s house. Higher education for women is only considered useful as a means to bargain for less dowry.

    In a state where women are valued at par with cattle, the execution of the Dowry Prohibition Act has clearly failed.

    In many parts of the state, the law enforcement agency, particularly the police, are controlled by the local political party leaders. Most of them, believing and propagating their interpretation of Hinduism, promoted by the Bahratiya Janata Party [BJP] advocate Manu proposition of women being equated to a Dalit. According to Manu law, the Manusmriti, women do not have equal status vis a vis the men. They have no other right other than those that have been granted to them by their husbands.

    The local police are controlled by the political henchmen who are in turn motivated by the interpretation of Hinduism as dictated by the BJP, the ruling party of the state. This is the cause for the blatant refusal of the police to register complaints by women and women groups in the state for crimes committed against them..!.!.!.!.!

    • Well, There is this particular pedophile who is worshipped by a 1.5 billion people.
      And worse most of these people are rampant pedophiles as well and justify the same by pointing at the original pedophile they revere..

      I can’t think of a worst human in human history than this pedophile and a worse group of people than his followers.

          For the things you are claiming, moron your muslim women are crying with Triple talaq given due to unmet dowry demands, daughter being born. Shitheads like you argue without any facts. 10000 muslim women have reached Supreme court, they have voted against their husband’s choice in UP election to BJP. You are such a shiteating asshole, who simply acts as retard viling about others..
