Meet “Gandhivadi” Hayat Zafar Hasmi, national president of MMA Jauhar Fan’s Association, ex State Secretary Congress, is said to be mastermind behind #KanpurViolence. Hashmi is local M leader project himself as “social activist” maintains quite a Aman-chain face in posts.

Hashmi often do FB live whr he talks consciously (plays safe) but nonetheless gives the intended msg. e.g. In this vid he is appealing not-to-vote Irfan Solanki, SP because “this govt had let go Kamlesh Tiwari” & endorsed INC contestant Haji Suhail Ahmed in this UP election.

Hashmi and asso organise every protest in Kanpur region and so very proud of 53-54 cases on his head which he accepts as badge of honor rather “gift by God”.
(Vid is 1.5x speed).

@AsadRizviJourno In the recently held UP elections, the 'bulldozer' was used by BJP leaders as a metaphor to demonstrate their willingness to act against what CM @myogiadityanath called 'encroachers' and 'gangsters'. | @TheOtherKaskar @OohiniMukhopad1 and @rkarnad
