Whether anyone likes it or not, the fact of the matter is that Modi government has a big problem with fake news. Its prominent members like Smriti Irani commands a vast army of online trolls, who keep supplying her with fake news and WhatsApp forwards in order to bolster their Hindutva credentials. It's other ministers and functionaries have been found to be promoting websites which try to vitiate the communal atmosphere. The prime minister himself follows a great deal of misogynistic Hindutva trolls on Twitter. Not just that, a couple years ago, he even hosted these people for a tea party at his official residence.
