From the article:

On August 5, 2023, the New York Times published a slanderous article about the financial support by Neville Roy Singham of leftwing news, research, and other institutions that support the struggles of working-class people. The article was based on public information, but spun in true McCarthyite hysteria to suggest a plot rather than legal financial support for the dissemination of ideas and knowledge about peoples’ ongoing struggles for survival. This article was seized upon by Modi’s government to revive the paranoia of the BJP government against Newsclick.

India is repressing the CPI(M) (Vijay Prashad's party).
