New Delhi:

Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Monday charged that China, NewsClick website and Congress are linked to an "anti-India umbilical cord", citing a news report that alleged Chinese firms were funding the portal.

Addressing a press conference with Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar at the BJP headquarters, Mr Thakur charged that "Chinese goods are being sold in Rahul (Gandhi) ji's fake 'Mohabbat ki Dukaan'".

"If you see the funding network of NewsClick, it was funded by a foreigner Neville Roy Singham and he gets funds from China. This Neville Roy Singham has direct contact with the propaganda arm of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese media company Maku Group," he said.

He said "foreign hands" behind the news portal were revealed in 2021.

"They present fake news in the name of free news. Congress and other parties are supporting them," he alleged.

BJP member Nishikant Dubey had in Lok Sabha raised the issue of a news report in the New York Times which claimed that NewsClick has received funding from Chinese firms and the money has been used to create an anti-India environment.

There was no immediate reaction available from the news portal or Congress.

Austin, a 70-year-old career soldier, initially underwent minor surgery to treat cancer on December 22. Washington: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is likely to make a "full recovery" from prostate cancer and his prognosis is "excellent," two doctors said after he was seen at Walter Reed hospital for a follow-up appointment. Austin controversially kept US President Joe Biden in the dark about the cancer diagnosis for weeks, and did not inform either the commander-in-chief or Congress until days after he was hospitalized on January 1 for complications from his treatment. "Secretary Austin was seen today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a scheduled post-prostatectomy surveillance appointment," the doctors said in a statement released by the Pentagon. "He continues to recover well and is expected to make a full recovery. Secretary Austin's prostate cancer was treated early and effectively, and his prognosis is excellent,...
