She is neither worried about press freedom nor is she actually interested in an answer, she just wants the rage bait & show India in a poor light. Trump literally calls journalists names, none walkout & keep their composure while staying on point. This provocateur runs away because she doesn’t like MEAs answer. Let's take your first tweet and discuss it. We will come to the next tweet. You called the person dishonest...which means lying. So saying * you Trump is lying. Saying. Tesla crashes is lying. It is a known fact that Tesla charging speed in cold weather is quite poor. Unless you can show that test didn't show Tesla model y is last..how is she lying..j assume the word you wanted to use is biased instead of lying. Secondly when you consider non disinformation sources like the third grade twitter channel that you shared...you will need to assum..cherry picking. 4 pieces of story does not show anything. As for the news article about xi s superweapons...I couldn't find that article...maybe it's in Norwegian ..I dunno you share it and let's decide if it's a lie or something else..I am pretty sure it is going to talk about rare earth and then it's not a lie. So she can't even be accused of bias based on the four articles that the twitter shared. I also couldn't find a news paper called the daily newspaper or the messenger...again could be norweigean but I would rather doubt the twitter channel peddling misinformation. As the reporter said norweigean people have the right to question a nation they are partnering with even though Indians may not have the right to question the party in power since 2014.

Not really A dishonest actor (often synonymous with a "bad actor") - Bad actors typically exhibit behavior that is contrary to the norms, values, or best practices of a given industry or community. (https://microblink.com/resources/glossary/bad-actor/) And I had already explained why I consider her as a dishonest actor, but you chose to ignore those and critique an exhibit I used rather than my own words, but here it is again: Its is well-established practice in journalism to not insult the interviewee the goal is to gather information, not to provoke or demean the interviewee even if they resort to rude behavior. For ex, even when Trump insults journalists, calls them names, throws insult they never react in anger, or walk out. - Contrary to this practice, she started with an insulting question - why should Norway trust India? (the question is a loaded question, geo political equivalent of when did you stop hitting your wife. Exactly, what trust of Norway has India breached?) - Demanded that they answer the question right now - Then walked off in the middle of the answer, because she didn't like their answer, insulting the person who took time to try & answer her question. She might not agree with the answer, she has every right to editoralize the way she wants to, but she chose just walk out during the answer, because she wasn't intrested in the answer but was more intrested in creating a scene, rage bait/viral moment. This is what a bad faith actor in the field of journalism would do. 1 hour ago, straighttalk said: Secondly when you consider non disinformation sources like the third grade twitter channel that you shared...you will need to assum..cherry picking. 4 pieces of story does not show anything.

FU trump (emotional for a journalist), criticism of tesla tech, chinese superpower claim are opinions, I never claimed they are lies, nor did the tweet I quoted claimed they were lies, I used the tweet because that was the quickest way to highlight her views without repeating them. She can have all of these opinions, or biases, nothing inherently wrong in them. But the claim because of the growing relationship with India she is interested in the press freedom in India or whether Modi taken questions from Indian press is a dishonest claim. FACT: As of 2025, India isn't even in the top 25 trading partners of norway. Do you know who are in that list? China & Turkiye, infact China is second in the list of countries with which norway runs a trade deficit with. Do you know grand total of the number of tweets she has made on either China or Turkey before today? 0, both rank worse than India in press freedom.

No. You might want to look up how rights work, the people of Norway have a right to ask their government on partnering with another country. They have no right on Indian government, a response from Indian government is a privilege not a right! Again, I believe Modi should take questions from Indian press, it isn't healthy for him to refuse question even adversarial from Indian press. But to claim the people of India have been denied the right to question the ruling party is a lie. The opposition is now even stronger than before in parliament, questions the govt, have made it back track on issues (farm laws), often mocks Modi in disparaging terms. You can't even post the kind of comment in China (if you were in china) without you getting onto some list. Edited May 19 by IndianRenegade Laaloo, G_B_, Mariyam and 1 other 4
G_B_ Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Perfectly said @IndianRenegade She has freedom to ask. Modi has feeedom not to respond. And see upto people not to vote for Modi if he does not answer press calls. Based on political results post 2014 most people dont seem to mind. Lord 1
rangeelaraja Posted May 19 Posted May 19 It is now coming to light that she is a planted journalist. Her X account was verified in May 2026, just days before Modi Ji’s visit after being largely dormant for years. Here again the fraud paid journalist showing her tru colors, trying to derail MEA presser and embarass India. MEA should have handled her more firmly.
Austin 3:!6 Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Clearly a set up job by Swara Bhaskar or Rana Ayubs of the world. If you observe, this lady only started asking question when PM was leaving. The purpose was to defame Modi and show it to international arena. Its true PM does not do PC in India and he should be criticized for it. However, this is not the way to ask question. Additionally, later her arguement with Indian delegates in actual press conference, her reluctance to listen to the answer and barging out of the room was massive giveaway. Lord 1
diga Posted May 19 Posted May 19 I hope she doesn't go into depression after reading all the online responses to her social media accounts... Indians will troll her and also school her with logic, although I highly doubt if she is capable of comprehending it. Austin 3:!6 1

You can't even post the kind of comment in China (if you were in china) without you getting onto some list. 1. The walking out was on the second tweet you shared ..I didn't make any comment on that one . 2. Have you seen American media interview Putin...then you will understand what a hostile interview is. 3. Norway people or press has a right to ask a new partner nation their views plans or thoughts since Norway partnering with India has good or bad consequences for them. Same as India has the right to question other leaders...like our esteemed foreign expert shweta used that time to ask Putin to shower praises on modi which he declined..but you are right India doesn't need to answer them..but at the same time it's fair to be mocked for running away. Putin and Trump does not run away. 4. There are enough instances of people like megyn kelly not getting bullied by Trump...of people like Jimmy Kimmel jon stewart etc lampooning Trump. Enough instances of people like jim acosta, Nancy, collins etc point blank calling out Trump. So not sure what you are pointing out people standing and taking insults from wannabe fascists as a great example to follow. 5. Indian opposition is at its nadir but agreed on 2024 it was stronger than before . Issue is their question and thoughts are not covered by the media or worse the govt is falsely defended by the chamchas in all mainstream media so the people are ignorant and fooled by the dharam ke naam me lootna that is going on. However. Inflation and economic duress cannot be hidden as that is a loved experience. Hopefully the opposition uses the gross mismanagement corruption and failure that cannot be masked by the godi media to rescue India. Laaloo 1

Very enlightening that the paid it cell bots with patriotic Indian names are not able to answer the questions same as the mea official..same as our PM.but they are hyper focused on character assassination or rather defamation of the journalist ...classic playbook..when you can't answer questions..attack the person asking the question...same here quesironitn BJP is equal to anti India or Paksitani or bangladeshi or Muslims. Not that the journalist should not be criticized ..go ahead and call a norweigean journalist as a Chinese spy...and China has ignored us Taiwan Iran war etc to get her to talk about press rights of all things...one where China is arguable worse ...not about Kashmir etc but about human right...if only our jokers could see through the bs peddled by this uneducated godi journalist Edited May 19 by straighttalk Austin 3:!6 1

Mariyam Posted May 19 Posted May 19 @straighttalk The character and intentions of the said ‘journalist’ here are suspect. But even if you were to leave all of that aside, her ‘questions’ are not an attack on Modiji the individual. Her questions are an attack on the integrity of the post of the Indian PM. And one can’t not take umbrage to that. Lord and diga 1 1

This shows you have literally no understanding of the incident you are commenting on. 1. The MEA did not ignore her, MEA was collecting the list of questions & were answering them, she wanted them to not do that, answer her immediately. It is pretty clear from the way that asks them to answer immediately, it was conveyed before hand that the MEA will be getting intros & answer questiins in batch. 2. if you watched the longer 13 min video going around the MEA takes a good part of 7-10 mins to try & answer her question. The second tweet literally shows her getting up & walking away, MEA even notes her absense. She didn't walk away because they ignored her, but she didn't like thier answer so decided to throw a temper tantrum. Edited May 19 by IndianRenegade

Anti Trump and anti musk might make her liberal and biased...I agree with that . Her questions were What is pms comment on India's poor press independence..factually correct..our rank is too low..we have driven most liberal media people out of mainstream media ..ndtv time now Republic cnn etc are just govt stooges and nothing else. Wire print mojo and YouTube rs are more factual than the above jokers. He doesn't take press conference in 12 years ..so he doesn't have to answer hard questions about human rights or India's declining economic situation and foreign policy diasasters. She gave our pm the chance to defend his country or explain the position ..he didn't do it. She asked again why should Norway trust India given press and human rights..mean official went into yoga and 5000 years civilization and covid medicine... Asking tough questions to elected officials is part of a vibrant democracy... Pm is not god...when MMS is insulted as weakling sonias lapdog and leader of opposition is heckled as pappu..where does those decorum go.

If you are in a business negotiation and trying to sell something or buy something. You say I will buy this much oil from you but I need to check your finances so that I can trust that you will pay me. Or vice versa.. show us records thst you can meet our goals reliably. Transparency goes both ways. That requires answering hard questions and being open. If the opposing party doesn't take questions and doesn't answer then there can be a trust deficit. Most democracies have the leader face journalist and answer questions...

Are you so innocent not to understand how some journalists are bought out to damage India's reputation and indulge in info war, fake narratives and psycho ops ? An attempt to defame India's head of state in a foreign land is not just on the individual but is an affront to the country. This has been a well planned attempt to ambush through a bought out fraud journalist who activated her twitter account abruptly just on Modi Ji's trip. Below the media of the same country displaying a colonial mindset showing the PM to be a snake charmer. Only a traitor would not object to such idiotic behavior. You seem to be one or atleast a suspect character based on your history here.
