In an attempt to delegitimize India’s efforts to protect persecuted minorities, The Wire, a notorious leftist Islamist propaganda portal, has stooped to a new low. Their latest report titled “CAA Should Be for All Persecuted People ‘Irrespective of Religion’, Says Taliban,” penned by Devirupa Mitra, serves as a mouthpiece for the Taliban, a religiously motivated totalitarian regime infamous for its brutal oppression and extremism.
The Wire shamelessly quotes Taliban representatives, giving credence to their warped views on India’s Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). According to this vile report, Suhail Shaheen, head of the Taliban’s political office in Doha, has the audacity to dictate terms to India, insisting that the CAA should extend benefits to all persecuted minorities, regardless of their religion.
[adinserter name="Three"]Unsurprisingly, The Wire eagerly laps up these repugnant assertions, amplifying the Taliban’s twisted propaganda. Shaheen’s words, parroted by The Wire, imply that India should heed the advice of a regime synonymous with terror and oppression. The sheer audacity of this leftist Islamist outlet to peddle such poison is nothing short of despicable.
[adinserter name="Four"]The Wire’s report not only provides a platform for the Taliban’s toxic rhetoric but also shamelessly attempts to whitewash the atrocities committed by the Islamist regime. By suggesting that minorities in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan are not persecuted, The Wire reveals its true colors as a mouthpiece for extremism.
[adinserter name="Five"]Furthermore, The Wire conveniently ignores the harrowing realities faced by non-Muslim minorities in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh – the very reason why the CAA was enacted in the first place. Instead, they choose to prop up the Taliban’s propaganda, portraying India’s legitimate efforts to protect persecuted minorities as discriminatory.
[adinserter name="Six"]This is not journalism; this is blatant propaganda aimed at undermining India’s sovereignty and derailing its efforts to provide refuge to those fleeing religious persecution.

What is the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)?
The Citizenship Amendment Act, passed by the Indian government in 2019, provides a path to Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, namely Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians, who entered India before December 31, 2014.
What are the criticisms against the CAA?
Critics argue that the CAA is discriminatory as it excludes Muslims from its purview, alleging it to be against the secular principles of India’s constitution. Some also express concerns about the potential communal tensions and its impact on India’s secular fabric.
