BJP aggressive on the issue in Lok Sabha
The BJP claimed on Monday (August 7) that News Click got Chinese money to push the country's political agenda around the world, citing a New York Times report.

On Monday, August 7, the BJP claimed, citing a story from The New York Times, that News Click had accepted Chinese funding to further China's political agenda around the world.
The matter was brought up in the Lok Sabha by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey in the presence of newly elected Congressman Rahul Gandhi. His House membership was reinstated earlier today following the Supreme Court's stay of his conviction.
The BJP MP claimed that between 2004 and 2014, Congress received funding from the Chinese "every time India faced trouble."
"The NYT reported that News Click received a payment of Rs 38 crore. About the ED raids on News Click, NYT has written.How the money was distributed to nalaxites and how Chinese money was distributed to some individuals in order to foster an attitude hostile to India.
Between 2004 and 2014, whenever there was turmoil in India, the Chinese government sent money to Congress, whose FCRA license had been revoked by the Indian government, according to Dubey in Lok Sabha.
He further claimed that Congress is conspiring with China to "destroy" the nation.
Congress, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi were contacted in 2008 when the Olympics were hosted. He (pointing to Rahul Gandhi) was meeting and conversing with the Chinese in 2017 during the Doklam crisis. The 'Hindi-Chini bhai bhai' strategy of Nehru is what they aim to spread. In collusion with the Chinese, Congress, he claimed, intends to destroy the nation.
The government should look into all Chinese funding, Dubey advised.
