Godi Media | Pondy Lit Fest 2023

Godi Media -Supine, Constructively Critical or Pointlessly Combative?
Abhijit Iyer Mitra & Shehzad Poonawala

#PLF2023

[@ArpanHotaJU]

We are seeing the rise of a new class of critics of Government, who do not come from a leftist cancel culture mindset, but provides a constructive criticism. These people are not yesmen of BJP or Congress, they are deeply nationalist, humanitarian, knowledgeable and want Bharath to grow beyond the binaries set by the political culture.

[@nikhilhembrom8952]

Ask them to bring someone like Sandeep deo Vishal views pushkal diwedi or someone like ankur sharma then show will have actual fun

[@whomraja1704]

Total respect for BJP allowing a PASMANDA MUSLIM BROTHER a important role in BJP organisation

[@que_93]

Did you forget about Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi?

[@gourabsadhu5400]

Excellent defending by Shehzad. I hope bjp had more spokespersons like him.

[@BrownsCommunity]

He's a star spokesperson

Shehzad Poonawalla is a national treasure. As a Hindu, I'd vote for him as PM any day over any member of my community. The sincere articulate man whom I can trust my life and the destiny of this nation with. Shame on the actual fascist who keep calling others Godi media. I've lost all respect for them over the last 3-4 years. Also painting all Hindus - Nearly 80% of India as bigots for supporting this government for valid reasons.

[@itapasya01]

Absolutely brilliant Shehzad ji 🙏🇮🇳

[@AnilSharma-gb3kj]

Not defending Nupur Sharma and not hauling up the other guy, and the guy who dog-whistled her, is a crime BJP will have a hard time defending.

[@shubhv7214]

Nupur Sharma the Sherani is back!! 💃 👏 👏 👏

[@drrmdebnath8356]

Godi media vs italian media🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️

[@rajagopalanduraiswamy45]

Shehzad Ji…your attire is befitting the South Indian tradition…as brilliant as your articulation…It’s high time BJP promoted him and he’s an asset…

[@ankushmamgain8227]

Great questions by Abhijit

[@bhaisabhsstudio]

Bjp really did injustice to nupur and tiger raja. But now they can give justice by bringing nupur and t raja back in bjp again.

[@Bricsbaba]

Rajdeep is the only dog left in media.

[@karthickspiker585]

I see many people scolding AIM, for them no need to hate him he is a very intellectual guy and he is also very funny watch all of his podcasts u will know.

[@billtensus]

Waiting for next Smita x Abhijit

[@natalkumar6132]

[@sushantsingh6555]

Ravish kumar has become Rabies kumar

[@TrendSuresh]

[@guliga1967]

Get rid of this flippant AIM and get someone serious.

[@sudhakrishnaswamy2365]

Why can’t a. Journalist ask Modi about the 2002 Gujarat riots?

[@shubhv7214]

Why cant u first speak about the Godhra train burning????

[@saitandale8482]

[@dr.nidhishendurnikar5126]

Excellent discussion... Shehzad ji did a fantastic job

[@vostro6527]

[@bvssrsguntur6338]

Jai bjp

[@vamshikrishna8694]

Supari people 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.. Right into them....

[@Parasuram5]

The Bihar caste census will be a huge challenge for BJP. It’s biggest infact. Maybe a as big as the Mandal and Hindutva. After Mandal report there were a change from Congi rule to the caste based parties. BJP was not comfortable with caste politics and brought in the Hindutva to divert the narrative from Caste to Religion. It worked well Now the opposition has brought in Mandal-2 to snatch the national narrative from religion back to caste much to the disadvantage of BJP. Depends how PM Modi plays his cards.

[@IndicRenai-2047]

Counting no is not going to change anything. Things well affect when they will give 50% regervation to obc in any state. And that is near imposible for them

[@vickboss6751]

Excellent points

[@virhlaniharesh]

At times, AIM behaves foolishly.

[@prajkta123]

Remove first 2 words from the sentences , then it is true.

[@Tatpunjiya]

Jobs? Communal speeches by bjp? National debt becoming 3 times in 10 years. 15 lakh loan write off. Nothing was asked.

[@que_93]

Don't skill up, but need jobs... like free meal passes. Don't meet changing demands, but need jobs. Communal speeches: ask which side has made the most, assuming all have made. And FYI, in the previous 10 years, there were no speeches allowed, at all, unless one spoke for the then govt. Coming to national debt: 1.5% of population pay tax compared to global average of 40. For development, one needs to make initial investments. How will the govt pay, given all the social benefits that is being sent all around? So, it borrows to fund. It is still 48% of the GDP. Out forex reserve is as much as the national debt. And look at other developed nations with debts 300% of their GDP. It is okay to ask questions, but it is also necessary to think and apply some, if not enough, intellect. And your comment on 15 lakh loan write off very clearly explained by NIrmala Ji less than a month ago, with data. Did you ask the previous govt why they kept us as the country of snake charmers? Why was there no development, at all? Look at any television show or films from before 2014 where they have not mocked our country on hunger, lack of hygiene, on religion, and what not! Korea Singapore China Israel all started around the same period, and look where they were in 2014 and where we were. Foreigners came to look at slums and garbage on road. Did you ask them why such was the case? Did you ask them why were were looked down like that? THINK!!!

[@shwetasawant6782]

​@@que_93well said!

[@kinkytail8779]

Shehzad i respect u a lot ur views & everything. But ur brother OMG, he is no person for politics, he rather opt for something which he is good at. Otherwise he'll be clown or pappu lite. I am sorry but thats what i think

[@ryanfetcher7425]

Good one

[@saitandale8482]

Abhi taklu 😂

[@vaibhavyadav9912]

Dhang se baat karo. He's not only senior in age but knowledge also.

[@patriot9981]

Full marks to Shehjad. Not like AIM who spread negativity with his guru subramanian swami

[@SalehSalazedeh]

AIm is a fraudster. He was singing bhajan of amreeka not too long ago and he was even schooled in American think tanks. A chameleon saboteur.

[@LaPlaya-rw1cp]

I am going to watch the vdo now. I hope Shehzaad does not crap Hindi here

[@LaPlaya-rw1cp]

3 min into the video: Lapdog=Godi media

[@LaPlaya-rw1cp]

30 sec later: Someone from TN 's words were twisted by Shehzaad

[@LaPlaya-rw1cp]

In the past 2 mins: S throws a lot of personal attacks

[@LaPlaya-rw1cp]

Abhijit shits for 30sec like he always does with that voice😂

[@LaPlaya-rw1cp]

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque]

[@que_93]

tell us about the lies... enlighten us with the "most probable truths"...

[@guruprasadmahapatra6337]

He is very logical person bt here in defense of godi media he sounded stupid nd amateur.....wat a waste of tym i had

[@user-hp6rr5hr2i]

Can't fathom the fact that their is session being conducted to defend the rapid deterioration of journalism in India! This is not only funny but ironic too!!

[@saikirankalva8765]

Blacklisting journalist just bcoz they ask difficult questions is the peak of controlling the narrative

[@que_93]

You would find it ironical and as funny, as such questions are permissible and they have to answer without whatabouteries-- an outlandishly odd thing for someone like you. True journalism would be how could a person roam around in T-shirt in harsh winter and how many push-ups he does, even though his Midas-touch abilities for turning potato to gold is not mocked or questioned.
