In late 2006, Friedrich was noticed in the company of Bhajan Singh Bhinder, who was funding the terror network for carrying out large-scale violence in various cities in India with the help of Pakistan’s ISI.

Bhinder was associated with the K2 (Kashmir-Khalistan) desk of ISI. After his efforts to send weapons to India failed, he changed his methods. There was a shift from proxy war to info-war. He came in contact with Friedrich and soon Friedrich became a new face of Info-war.

Modus operandi:
+Publish books in his name
+Connect with influencers on social media
+Hijack narrative of every genuine ground protest to suite their agenda e.g. #FarmersProtest
+Malign image of non-violence associated with India and to paint India as ‘fascist state’

Targeting India’s interest was to be accomplished in 4 major ways:
i. Targeting idea of India and replacing it with an alternate image of ‘fascist India’
ii. Targeting India’s territorial integrity
iii. Targeting India’s interests abroad
iv. Whitewashing Pakistan’s sins

Last year, his book “Saffron Fascists: India’s Hindu Nationalist Rulers” was published, in which he had been highly critical of the ruling Indian government. His Twitter timeline is filled with anti-BJP/RSS/Modi propaganda.

He picked every topic with an extreme narrative that potentially hurt integrity of nation, be it 1984 riots, #Kashmir, #CAA and recent #FarmersProtest
His TL is filled with leftists from India and Pakistani influencers, ministers etc.

And then he is listed in the #Toolkit in "Who to follow" list. This is exposing the bigger plot behind the support coming for #FarmersProtest from anti-national forces situated abroad.
