BBC published a report citing the views of 'real' KPs over #TheKasmirFiles, which garnered 1mn hits, promoted by INC, CPM & entire left cabal.

Let's take a deep dive if they really represent 'real' voice of KPs or are just used as tool for BBC's propaganda.

#TheHawkEyeThread
1/
BBC selected Jagti Township at Jammu, where "residents" are criticizing the film as a 'political stunt gearing up for 2024'. Let this be clear that this location & these 3-4 ppl are not randomly picked. There is a specific agenda behind it.

2/
Vid started with a 'resident' Shadilal Pandita (accompanied by a few), who happens to be society president. Currently, he is leading a protest against govt for relief demand supported by local Congress. He appears to be staunch anti-BJP by his SM posts & public interviews.
3/
Another person who delivered the 'tissue paper' dialogue is Sunil Pandita, a local 'India Against Corruption' activist. He shared similar views about the film on social media & the rest is history. Check the harsh comments he received from FELLOW KPs from the vicinity.
4/
The lady was shot purposefully in front of the society plaque which is inaugurated by then PM Manmohan Singh & Omar Abdullah. We shall not focus today on the corruption & favoritism charges on the flats allocation that eventually led to evict notices to many illegal occupants.
5/
The point here is not individual's political views, which they are free to have. But do they really represent the whole of KPs community as projected by BBC?

As a matter of fact, forget community, they don't even represent the views of their fellow Jagti residents. How?
6/
Evidentially Jagti residents promoted the film by distributing free tickets! If it is not enough, today (20-Mar) Jagti residents had a bike rally in support of the film, read- to protest against those "KP rep" shot in BBC video. (Listen that slogan in the orig post)
7/
With the same confused mind that many of us had about "what's the reality & motive of BBC report", here it is excerpts of interaction with a few of Jagti's residents. Spend two mins to read the raw views. (Identity cant be revealed, so this section is at readers' discretion).
8/
Apart from political reasons, after watching/reading many local news & public posts, one pattern is clear. Few KPs seem compelled to talk about 'brotherhood' in one sentence & 'film may cause trouble for us' in another. If there is love & respect, then what's the threat?

9/
Few KP's public opinions living in J&K may differ from KPs living across the world. They all have gone through a lot but local KP still facing it and they may not like to promote film that supports the abrogation of 370 openly. The threat is real. These headlines are real.
10/
In conclusion, BBC exploited the selection as "KPs real view" with their anti-India agenda. They never dared to share KPs story to the world but jumped to malign honest efforts.

#TheKashmirFiles is not a film, it's an agonized truth that waited for 3 decades to set free.

"es movie se hum KP me aasha ki kiran uthi hai aur aap kehte hua kya?"

The cherry-picked of BBC video are facing unprecedented anger from fellow residents. Listen to this young lad.

THIS IS THE REAL VOICE OF KP.

Listen to the full 10min vid (MUST)

After the propaganda video exposed & amplified by netizens, BBC issued CLARIFICATION:

1. These ppl are politically affiliated
2. They do NOT represent entire Kashmiri Pandit community.

@BBCHindi @BBCIndia update same on YouTube description as well.
YouTube description updated. Still, BBC tried to save face by adding 'BJP' affiliation falsely. These few ppl are facing a community boycott. Society residents are protesting outside their homes. @BBCHindi has enough material to do a story now in the same society.

The "Reservation" Fake News🚨

You might have come across edited videos on reservation policy by BJP leaders.

Now it appears that a group of handles, mainly @DabangYogi is behind those all or at least a few fake videos.

1/

In above snapshots, the group is "celebrating" the success of their coordinated disinformation campaign.

These videos were circulated on WhatsApp in masses. The irreversible damage is already done.

The gang leader here is mocking the fack checkings.

@MIB_India @Uppolice

Here an INC worker @JaySinghINC is expressing gratitude for fake videos and seeking more such contents.

Everything is happening openly, no fear of consequences.

₹ 35,30,346 Cr (35 lakh crore): The commutative amount has been transferred directly to the valid beneficiary account (DBT).

Had it been the Congress era, 85% i.e. ₹30 lakh crore would have vanished to corrupt mediators.

1/ Image
₹30L Cr is an estimated loss based on former PM Rajiv Gandhi's infamous quote. In other words, this is ~60% of India's today's budget. Imagine the level of corruption, that even the PM confessed, unofficial commission, fake ID beneficiaries, duplicities & other means.
2/
Though DBT was initiated in 2013 (parting MMS govt), it was systematically expanded by the Modi govt.

For the success of DBT, first & foremost need is a bank a/c. Govt launched the massive PM Jan Dhan Yojana, under which 52cr a/c were opened (56% women & 67% in rural/suburb)

I can float a party and can promise a plot on moon for everyone. Interestingly, I don't have to explain my technical or economical plan, neither I would have any fear of consequences if I (obviously) won't be able to do it.

In the high octane election in India, ppl hardly care about manifestos & so the parties. Nonetheless it is best reflection of intent & vision of the party.

Problem is almost no constitutional compulsion or scrutiny of promises being even technically feasible.

2/
First of all the word "guarantee" is highly misleading. I'd personally go with Kapil Sibal who said using this word itself is unconstitutional. No one can guarantee anything but only can try. BJP, Congress or AAP, all parties failed here.

The other day I went to a party wearing my favourite Wildstone deo. My host (name withheld) introduced me to someone. The rest is history.

This morning I was feeling a little dull. Then I brushed my teeth with Colgate Max and blew my breath at a random girl. In general, you would have got a slap in such a case, but here that girl started dancing with me.

And here if you are born with an average look and dark skin, you just need to apply fair and lovely and handsome, which will change your look & skin colour good enough to be acceptable in society.

[Fact Check]

@DrSJaishankar referred Nehru's foreign policy (India second, China first). Congress spox @LavanyaBallal used derogatory remarks and denying the charges.

Here are two historical evidences that India was indeed offered permanent seat for UNSC but Nehru denied.

1/ Image
The 1950 American Offer:

US: we offer unseating of China as a Permanent Member in the Security Council and of India being put in her place.

JLN: We shall go on pressing for China's admission in the UNSC. India is certainly entitled, but not at cost of China.

2/ Image
The 1955 Soviet Offer:

USSR: we propose India's inclusion as the 6th member of the UNSC.

JLN: We feel that this should not be done till the question of China's admission is first solved. I feel that we should first concentrate on getting China admitted.

Supreme court & petitioner and that journalist (which I still believe is just a front face) has royally screwed up the Electoral Bond scheme and its' purpose.

Let me explain, how -

1/ Image
Quid-Pro-Quo: Think for a moment, if center govt wanted to use it for kickbacks, bribes and commissions which payment mode would have been better? Cash or EB!

2/
Agencies as weapons: If the central ruling party has received 6K Cr for Q-P-Q, opposition parties have also received 16K Cr. Why would corporate bet on them if they know oppsn doesn't control CBI/ED?
