🇺🇸 Washington's call for a global sanctions campaign against the Russian news network has been received poorly in New Delhi.

The Indian government is reluctant to give in to Washington's renewed attack on Russian media outlets, The Hindu newspaper has reported, citing diplomatic sources.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken unveiled new sanctions on Friday targeting Russian media outlets, including RT, which he accused of "functioning as a de facto arm of [Russian] intelligence."

Blinken alleged that the news network has been trying to undermine democracy in the US and elsewhere, and to erode global support for Ukraine, and he urged other nations to join the assault on Russian media in a "joint diplomatic campaign."

"We urge every ally, every partner, to start by treating RT's activities as they do other intelligence activities by Russia within their borders," Blinken stated.

New Delhi has not provided any official reaction to the call; the Indian Ministry of External Affairs has kept silent on the matter. In private conversations, however, Indian diplomats said the country does not adhere to unilateral sanctions that are not imposed by the UN and will continue to pursue an independent foreign policy, The Hindu reports.

The matter "does not pertain to India" altogether, an unnamed Indian diplomat told the outlet.

Former Foreign Secretary of India and RT contributor Kanwal Sibal sharply criticized the renewed US attack on Russian media, expressing confidence that New Delhi would by no means participate in it.

"This will be viewed as double standards by the Global South that they are trying to target. India will obviously not be responsive to such American pressure," he stated.

China = 1.4 billion people
India = 1.4 billion
Iran = 86 million
North Korea = 26 million
Africa = 1 billion
Brazil = 220 million +
Indonesia and other Asian countries = 600 million +

Russia have over 4.5 billion people solidly behind it but some clowns think it will be affected by sanctions of the west with just a measly 900 million people.

Expected.
India depends on Russia for energy and arms.
It will not go against Russia unless its economy is threatened.
Thanks for telling everyone that you're a puppet that can be easily controlled and manipulated.

You should be ashamed and grow some spine.

grin grin This overhyped US must be very delusional to think India a strong loyal ally of Russia, would give in to its paranoid demand to restrict Russian media.
This paranoid Superpower should know its geopolitical global influence is steadily diminishing by the day and it would continue till the day the word"American" would become meaningless and void to the global community.

Time for the global south to take advantage of our massive population and begin sanctioning CNN, BBC, FB, Instagram and others.

Brics nation in particular should have its own popular social media

Thank God I no longer watch CNN or BBC
Very soon I am abandoning my FB account

Its unwise for India to have a new enemy close to its border. Besides it does not benefit India, its in the interest of India to have good relations with those around it.

The world war may start this year.

India has to do a balance in relatioship.

Maintaining good relations with Russia and even developing some with China, helps India in the long run. Unlike before, when the British were able to use many Indians for its wars, this time Indians have grew much more wiser

You have no source, what you put up there is totally nothing close. You truly a propagandists.

It's all in a bid to be the sole controller of information and misinformation... It goes both ways.

By requesting for RT's ban, the US (and in essence the west) is trying to be the sole propagator of information. Control information, control the mind.

THEY ARE HIGH ON HOMOSEXUAL POOP SNIFFING.

RUSSIA AND INDIA THAT ARE TRADING EXCLUSIVELY VIA RIVER CARGO THROUGH IRAN AND FREE OF INTERNATIONAL POLICING OF CARGO.


AMERICA CANNOT EVEN NEAR THEIR CARGO.

Countries make decisions based on national interests
and not the childish friend/enemy relationships you dream up in your head.
