Here's how a News channel shares a fake news based on a clipped video. It was later picked up and amplified by BJP members and Right wing Influencial accounts. Soon after it went viral, It was again picked up by other News channels which has it's own fact checking team. Thread 👇
It was first shared by a reporter from Navbharat Times reporter @_ShivamBhatt ( When someone says it might be fake, He goes in to justify with his whataboutery). It was soon published by his channel @UPNBT
How can Right Wing propaganda website @OpIndia_com hold back and not do a story based on fake news. 🤡🤡
Altnews got in touch with Bitur SP candidate Munindra Shukla who shared us the longer version of the video. It can clearly be heard that the supporters were saying "Maati chor bhagana hai" and not "Pakistan Banana hai".
They claim, 'Maati (Sand) chor' was in refrence to BJP MLA
It was also clarified by Kanpur Admin that there were no Pro Pakistan Slogans raised.
Very Important thread related to Sambhal.🧵
For the past 2 days several News channels and RW websites/influencers are running non stop propaganda about Sambhal Temple encroachment.
Fact : Temple keys were with Rastogi family. Listen to what Dharmendr Rastogi & his son have to say
Dharmendra Rastogi categorically denies all the false claims. He says Temple was open till 2006. There was no fear of Muslims or anyone. The keys of the temple were with Rastogi family, There was no encroachment around the temple. The room next to temple was also built by them.
Dharmendra Rastogi and his son says, There was never fear of local Muslims. He also debunks one more fake news about 'The encroachment' next to the temple, says Temple is as it was, There is no encroachment. The room next to the temple was built by them before they left in 2006.
There are several videos of a Delhi BJP Member going to street vendors asking Muslims to write their name on the stall & asks Hindus to display the Saffron flag.
Yes this is happening in the National capital of India. He's been doing this for more than two years now. Thread 🧵
He asks a Muslim paneer vendor to display his name prominently on the store, threatening to confiscate his belongings if he doesn't. Later goes to other Hindu vendors asking them to install saffron flags on the stalls.
Date : December 2024
He threatens a Muslim street vendor on the pavement, demanding that he either reduce the size of his cart or shift it to the road.
Date : November 2024.
#HateCrime Update: Do you remember the bangle seller Tasleem Ali?
In 2021, A Muslim bangle seller Tasleem Ali was abused with religious slurs and severely beaten by a RW mob in Indore. His only crime was selling bangles door-to-door in a Hindu locality.
After the video went viral, Police released a statement saying if someone files a complaint, only then, They will register an FIR. After the complaint, There was an FIR filed against the mob. @ShayarImran helped the victim file a complaint.
The next day, a counter FIR was filed against him claiming he was molested a minor. They added 9 serious sections including POCSO.
Several Right Wing trolls like @MrSinha_ @rishibagree @HPhobiaWatch @ChandanSharmaG etc are sharing a screenshot of Bittu Sharma @common000786Om and claiming it's a fake ID created by a Muslim. They can't digest a Hindu Brahmin speaking against the BJP.
Let's Fact check.
In Dec 2023, Bittu Sharma had donated to Altnews. When I checked for more details, I found his email id and Phone number on our donation website. When I searched for his phone number on Truecaller and WhatsApp, His name was displayed as Bittu Sharma on both.
I later called him up to enquire about the other handle which used his image. He shared an email he received from Twitter support after he reported the fake account @anchalfortango. The fake account which used his image was later suspended after he reported on July 8th.
If any of Anti BJP accounts had gone for a debate with this Pakistani YouTuber, The same right wing gang would have declared them as Pro-Pakistan, Anti-India gang.
Here are a few tweets by @Arzookazmi30 baaji mocking Indian Airforce which I am sure right wing trolls like @MrSinha_ @vijaygajera will forgive.
More Anti-India, Anti-Army Tweets by @Arzookazmi30 which @MrSinha_ @vijaygajera want their Nationalist followers to ignore.
A few more Anti Modi tweets by @Arzookazmi30 baaji.
A lot of Indian Right wing accounts are spreading communal propaganda.
Here are images of local Muslims stepping in to protect the temples in Bangladesh.
More images of Local Muslims safeguarding Temples. #BangladeshBleeding #BangladeshViolence
