Titled ‘Modi destroying termite ridden old Banyan tree’, the write-up is critical of the Nehru dynasty and cautions against the lingering ‘old order’ and how it will do anything to preserve the status quo. Alt News discovered the write-up ascribed to Tully is to be found nowhere in his book No Full Stops in India. When contacted, Mark Tully confirmed that this so called article/passage is fake.
