POLICE COMPLAINT AGAINST ME FOR CALLING OUT HATE!
When I called out hate campaign against #ArshdeepSingh, BJP member Manjinder Sirsa in-turn loged a complainant against me alleging that I worked with Pak agency & used screenshot of Pakistan bots.
Thread exposing his claim 👇

2. In this debate, Sirsa alleges that I made a collage in 2 mins, He says, Pak handlers shared this tweets to me on WhatsApp & I've just used them. He claims all these are bot accounts & none from India. The anchor later says it's up to Zubair to explain.

He says, "He tweeted the collage within 2-3 mins, How's it possible to do it within mins, He was getting WhatsApp frm his handlers in Pakistan" 🤡
Fact: Arshdeep dropped catch at 11:05 PM & I tweeted at 12:05 AM.
For an expert in this field, it hardly takes 10-15 mins to do this

Infact, many prominent handles from the RW tweeted.
For Eg, This handle @MrSinha_ (60K followers) is followed by many BJP ministers, Verified trolls and BJP members including Prime Minister Modi. Is he a bot too? 🤔

Several RW influencers shared only the tweets made by Pakistani accounts, claiming that the tweets criticizing Arshdeep as ‘Khalistani’ after he dropped the catch were part of Pakistani propaganda.

Adding @PadmajaJoshi here because, In your show you wanted me to explain. Adding @mssirsa because it was he who filed a complaint against me. Adding @_pallavighosh because you accused me that I being a fact checker had shared it without fact checking. 🙏

People in power want to shut me up for exposing Hate propaganda, For calling out ppl who indulge in online hate campaigns. They wanna threaten & scare me by police complaints & FIRs. They want me to stop tweeting. They want to scare journalists & activists by going after me. ✊️
