Former VP Ansari & Actor Swara Bhaskar participating in an event by IAMC to ‘save pluralism’ on #RepublicDay

They may not know:

IAMC paid money to get India black-list by the US is linked with Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) &

Linked with the fraud in name of Covid crisis

A thread:
IAMC founder Shaik Ubaid collected fund in the name of Rohingyas and paid to Lobby firm FGR for getting India blacklisted by USCIRF!

FGR head Terry Allen was a long time associate of Nadine Maenza, USCIRF Chair, who is also ‘saving pluralism’ in India.

(2/n)
IAMC claims to represent Indian Muslims in US. It says it’s fighting against the ‘current fascist govt’ – OK.

Why was it lobbying against India in 2013?

(3/n)
IAMC key player Shaik Ubaid and his buddy Abdul Malik Mujahid headed Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)- the US front for Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan. ICNA has known links with Pak based terror groups including LeT.

(4/n)
IAMC is headed by Rasheed Ahmed, who was Executive Director (2008-17) of another shady front - Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA). At the peak of covid crisis in India, IMANA collected funds in the name of helping India and robbed all money.

(5/n)
Director of Operations in IMANA is Zahid Mahmood, who is an ex-Pak Navy official.

Coincidentally, IMANA is also linked with Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an Muslim Brotherhood front in the US.

(6/n)
And to get a sense of their ideology: IAMC members like Kaleem Kawaja have been a vocal supporter of Taliban!

(7/n)
And there is fake news:

UAPA was imposed on IAMC last year for spreading fake news to incite communal violence & reinforces the narrative of minority plight in India- from fabricated stories on CAA to Tripura violence.

(8/n)
Our concern:

IAMC has not been exposed once or twice but multiple times by multiple organizations. Yet it seems not all people are aware of their truth (are they?)

Please spread this thread enough that it reaches everyone – commoner and celebrities alike!

The US State Department @StateDept has published ‘India 2024 Human Rights Report’ - which also targets DisinfoLab with unsubstantiated allegations picked up from discredited Washington Post (WaPo), called out by their own President for fake news.

A thread: Image
First, some glaring fabrications & misrepresentations in report. It accuses India of undermining freedom of expression, arbitrary detentions & new narrative buzzword “transnational repression.” Its evidence? The same outlets dismissed by Trump administration as fake!

2/n
The report highlighted a stay order on a Reuters’ story on an Indian company- Appin. But conveniently ignored that the Court in October 2024, lifted the ban, after the due process.

Days before a pending US-India trade deal, a letter allegedly from the US President Donald Trump to Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is circulating on social media.

The letter is a strategically designed propaganda stunt to damage US-India relations.

1/n Image
Here's the smoking gun

The letter uses generic White House form language that has been recycled multiple times. Simple Google search reveals exact letter template addressed to multiple recipients. Whether genuine or manipulated, it's being weaponized.

2/n Image
The misleading letter was promoted by dubious websites like deepstatepress. com, clearly showing pro-Khalistani propaganda to claim a manufactured support for Khalistani Referendum by the US and an attempt to target India-US relations.

Pakistan’s ISPR nexus, led by Pakistan Strategic Forum (PSF) ran a sophisticated information warfare Op against India over the Israel-Iran-US conflict.

Purpose: TO DEFLECT focus from their boss, COAS Asim Munir's US trip, while Israel & US launched missile strikes on Iran.

🧵 Image
Amid multiple reports that Pakistan betrayed Iran from the backdoors by aiding Israel & the US which was marked by COAS Asim Munir’s US visit 2 days after “Op. Rising Lion” (Jun 13) & his Pentagon & White House meetings before “Op. Midnight Hammer” (Jun 22) attacking Iran

(2/n) Image
To deflect blame from Pakistan’s betrayal of Iran, PSF handles ran a coordinated disinformation campaign in a phased manner laced with fake news, fake narratives, Identity impersonation & cross amplification and amplification by ISPR influencers & Pakistani media.

Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif is meeting Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan TWICE in ONE month post the Pahalgam terror attack & after #OperationSindoor

This not only reveals the true nature of their alliance, but also EXPOSES their Transnational alliance against India!

🧵 Image
What we’re seeing today is a reflection of years of planning & collaboration. From 2018's coordinated social media campaigns to 2022's RToK in Sarajevo, every major anti-India narrative has been amplified simultaneously from Islamabad & Istanbul!

2/n Image
The Erdoğan network isn't just diplomatic, it's operational. Through a web of NGOs spanning continents, the Erdoğan family has built an influence ecosystem that abets everything- from Hamas to Pakistan-sponsored anti-India campaigns including terror attacks.

The India-Pakistan conflict may have ended militarily. But during & after the fighting, a blitz of info warfare raged online. It's time to understand how this info war took over the internet, with certain countries siding with Pakistan to peddle their full-blown propaganda

🧵 Image
From fake news to doctored videos to deepfakes & recycled war porn, the India-Pakistan conflict exposed the scale of global propaganda—from China to Turkey to Bangladesh—as Pakistan & its allies launched a full-blown disinfo blitz against India in view of #OperationSindoor

2/n
Post Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan started leveraging its access to Western media like its next-door neighbour to push its anti-India propaganda. Pak journalists at CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, NYT, began publishing anti-India narratives with baseless claims & no evidence.

Pro-MAGA accounts on X recently falsely accused Indians of running a merchandise buying scam on Meta & duping Americans.

But this claim lacks teeth & basis. Our investigation reveals it is far from the truth. This scam empire is actually run not by Indians but Bangladeshis!

🧵 Image
Recently, an X user falsely accused Indians of running a vast network of state pride-themed Meta (Facebook) groups, using recycled content to boost engagement for Meta’s creator fund, while exploiting Americans emotionally & selling them low-quality/ undelivered products.

(2/n) Image
However, the user lacked plausibility & evidence in blaming Indians. We checked that this scam was indeed happening on @Meta at a much larger level than one could fathom!

Meta, once a revolutionary platform, has now become the hotbed of these large-scale scams.
