THREAD: Since these portals wouldn't be caught dead posting facts, they've chosen to manufacture stories to distract us from the gruesome & barbaric killing of Tabrez. This is fake news & no such incident occurred.

I'd like to set the record straight:

(1) Some background: our @aimim_national unit in Jharkhand is relatively new & small (although rapidly making gains). But by no measure does the party have any significant presence in Dhatkidih or the surrounding areas. The fake 'report' makes it look like the party rules J'khand

(2) Police presence & activity has significantly increased since the incident came to light. This has included arrests of suspects & picketing in Dhatkidih village. It's unfathomable that such a large group of people could cross a police picket as recently as the 24th

(3) All of the above can be corroborated by local law enforcement officials. @aimim_national has never subscribed to politics of reprisals or violence. For us, Tabrez's murder requires lawful, constitutional justice, it is too close to our hearts to cheapen it in such a manner

(4) But why are these fake news farms picking on me & my party? Their party is in power & their ideology is responsible for widespread mob violence across the country. They want to shift the focus from Tabrez's gruesome, brutal & inhuman murder to a flight of fantasy.
