Dear @SallyBuzbee @hiattf and @PostBaron ur paper published this factually incorrect story by @bdutt - well known and discredited journalist from India. FYI- @IndiaTodayFLASH published the transcripts of her fixing ministry posts with a lobbyist! indiatoday.in/2g-scam/radia-…
Dear @SallyBuzbee @hiattf and @PostBaron most recently - this same @bdutt most recently used her fathers unfortunate death to score brownie points by resorting to lies that were exposed by @ThePulseIndia after they tracked down the ambulance driver from the pic Dutt tweeted!
That said, I urge all three of you @SallyBuzbee @hiattf and @PostBaron to do a basic background check on this story published by your reputed paper - not only is this factually incorrect but is akin to your paper letting @bdutt use ur platform to spread fake news and propaganda
Attached herewith are screenshots of the document that details various new stories from the past abt surfacing of dead bodies in the river Ganga in the past - stories have been published by @NatGeo @guardian @Reuters etc from time to time -sadly @BDUTT resorted to lies as usual
Although this video is in Hindi but all three of you @PostBaron @hiattf @SallyBuzbee can get this video checked - the man can be heard saying that burying dead on the banks of river Ganga at Prayagraj is a tradition followed by some Hindu castes as also Buddhists
It is my earnest request to all three of you to have this piece by @BDUTT reviewed against facts on ground. Just as those approx 1000 unclaimed bodies in NY freezer trucks doesn’t represent USA COVID nos, so doesn’t these bodies! @PostBaron @SallyBuzbee @hiattf
While I can understand that all 3 of you @PostBaron @SallyBuzbee and @hiattf may not have known d background of this story & but natural to see it from COVID lens; but as past data shows @bdutt didn’t give u correct pic-she is complete out of integrity here-nothing new to her!
I urge all three of u to show some integrity and admit that @WaPO goofed up here because of @BDUTT hiding crucial facts pertaining to this story. India has hundreds of capable journalists who can send u OpEds/ this liar needs to be dropped from ur panel @SallyBuzbee @hiattf
Dear @SallyBuzbee @hiattf request you to please check this video report by @ThePulseIndia on the issue of floating corpses in the river Ganga and based on which @bdutt filed her baseless and factually incorrect report

Extremely interesting pattern in the reporting following filing of case by WA against GOI rules. Clearly, English language media seems be lobbying for @Facebook as evident from the way how FB version found space on front page while Govt version has been relegated to back pages
Seems @bipchakr - PR head for @facebook in India - has learnt her lessons very well from the way Cong & AAP hounded Ankhi Das last Sept! Clearly, everything seems to be going well with Cong now!
How many of you remember how one year ago, Cong, AAP and their supporters went all guns blazing after FBs Ankhi Das - it all started with @ShashiTharoor accusing Facebook of favouring BJP- @bipchakr was hired in Mar 20 & seems all of them have decide to smoke a peace pipe

Several myths on India’s Covid-19 vaccination program are doing the rounds. These myths are arising due to distorted statements, half truths and blatant lies. pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…
So what is centre doing to buy vaccines from abroad?
Myth 2: Centre has not approved globally available vaccines

Saw a tweet by @kiranshaw where she used called B1.617.2 as Indian Variant. So I searched for “Chinese Virus” and “Wuhan Virus” usage to see if this is a norm or her love for “Indian” is reserved only for the country of her residence- well result is there to see in pic 2 & 3!
What amazes me is the fact that @kiranshaw runs India’s largest biotech company and should be the last person to use such term, given her credentials. But then blind hate for PM @narendramodi can make you do things that u won’t imagine on normal days under Congress rule!
Here I must mention @JenniferKulik3 who was running a @Clubhouse room recently. I saw that room full of reputed doctors & epidemiologists & I objected to the usage. Full credit to Jennifer who accepted her mistake & ensured that no one called it Indian variant after that!

the-pulse.in/decoding-the-p… << Here are 5 reasons why I feel @rahulgandhi is not a “Pappu” but a “Threat” to Indian democracy!
“Rahul Gandhi- scion and heir apparent of owners of Congress is known for his idiosyncratic & eccentric behavior & series of outlandish comments. Thanks to that, he has earned a nickname “Pappu” – a pejorative term used dismissively- but reality is starkly different.”
SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT-Owing to his lineage, it is @RahulGandhi’s sense of entitlement that makes him disregard every democratic institution of India including his party and its leaders. This has been the hallmark of his politics.

Dear @RaviReports I urge you to go through this thread & after that do go through this link shoaibshafi.com/articles as well. As an editor in chief of @ForeignPolicy how justified it is to lend your platform to allow folks with biases, run their agenda basis fake conjectures?
I understand that you have been CNNs bureau chief in New Delhi between 2014-17. Surely while you held that post, u may have come to know of the Indian constitution and how responsibilities are divided between state and centre-under constitution, health is state’s responsibility!
Given this @RaviReports how justified it is to let a biased man use your platform to blame PM for death in a hospital that was under @ArvindKejriwal Govt? Least you should do is to pull down this post for factual inaccuracies. Infact, Delhi HC blamed state CM for oxygen crisis!

Cute that @ShekharGupta caught hold of an IAS officer to attack PM @narendramodi & guess what that Babu came up:
1) PM removed mandatory requirement of sanctions to prosecute babus
2) Modi removed ‘Red Beacons’-only vestige of authority & prestige available to civil servants Image
To understand the pain of Sameer Singh Chandel, ex IAS (post VRS) henchman, hired by @ShekharGupta to attack PM @narendramodi , one will have to go back to 1999, when Chandel was Collector of Sawaimadhopur between 1999 & 2001!
Chandel was accused by Sumer Singh & Hukum Gujjar vide complaint dated 25th September 2002 alleging that they paid him bribe of 1 lakh for recruitment as Gram Sewak via his middleman Hans Raj Gujjar- bribe was duly paid but job was denied to them..
