So this is the best they have come up. A hitman's job by @htTweets. Never mind, let's take deep dive into how this journo Hemani Bhandari subtly presented a thread-that-matter!

(PC: @Spoof_Junkey)
1/
The therad-theory is based on one Sajid Saifi, started with a specific image for a purpose. The opening tweet almost concluded that H groups is "responsible", so justified violence by Ms.

Interestingly Hemani wrote a similar (but NOT exactly the same) article in HT.

2/
However, the hero of the article is one Mastan, speaking word-to-word dialogue that of Saifi. Script-writer should never goof up with names or unless they probably gave statements in chorus or may be its same person having school-name as Saifi but ghar-pe-pyar-se is Mastan.

Who is the most loved fact-checker on Twitter?

We at Fault News performed an in-house AI/ML analytics and the findings are astonishing.

During the study period of the past week, our fact-checker received 501 times 'red heart'❤️emoji,
i.e. 72 per day.

#Thread
1/
Our algo reads❤️emoji as a sign of an affectionate tone. Usually, it hit the ceiling when we release critical 'fact-check'. e.g.

On 13-Apr 'Ram Navami' procession post and on 15-Apr, a letter's grammar & spelling check fetched 156 & 195❤️replies resp., implied ppl loved it.
2/
Further, the analysts revealed that "❤️" emoji is followed by suffixes as such "day", "dey", "de" & "डे".

To our surprise, our Hindi viewership who replies with "डे" contributes 14% to acknowledge, and "de" leads the show by 62% as the most preferred suffix.

10% of J&K terr0r!sm is funded through "Zakat". Research by Defence Analysis in 2002.

What is Zakat //(2:110) Establish Prayer and dispense Zakah. Whatever good deeds you send forth for your own good, you will find them with AIIah. Surely AIIah sees all that you do.//

1/
One of the main pillar of lsIam!c economy, Zakat, (or often considered as 'tax on wealth') actual purpose was to 'help in need'.

But things haven't changed much. IN Mar'21 NIA registered terr0r-funding case claiming a banned lslamlc group collects funds through Zakat.
2/
And this is global norm. Below are excerpts from research on "Terror!st Exploitation of Zakat" by UNC School of Law, 2009 that explains how AI-Queda & others raise funds through religious sentiments & state's precautionary guidelines during Ramadan when ppl donate more.

Do you know what this figure is?

Even wondered why other countries are so desperate to send loads of money to India while the nation itself making stringent FCRA laws to restrict it?
1/
But money is good, isn't it? Thoda khao thoda khane do aur jaisa chal raha hai chalne do? Abhi tak toh yahi hota aaya tha!

Read this attached thread first & come back to study huge significance of FCRA Amendment that SC upheld yesterday.
2/
** Go through the attached thread in tweet#2 before proceeding **

In Sept'20 FCRA 2020 Amendment bill passed which proposed significant changes in the existing provisions. As expected 3 PIL filed to stop it, mainly by one Andhra-based Missionary NGO, Care and Share Ch Trust.

What happened to Nadeem Shabnam violent Insta streaming?

And what happened to IT Rules & RGO?

An audio/App otherwise would have made upto Italy or NYT by now & culprits wub be behind bars!

@DelhiPolice @DGPAssamPolice Don’t let it normalise sir!
It won’t take 48hrs for cyber cops to back track IPs of said users, unless it needs a social media outrage to make the case worth investigating!!
Nadeem Khan is arrested from Bikaner however not much update available about sections, remand etc. No mainstream is following that story as they did for S/B App culprits.

Assam police is still looking for the girl Shabnam.

The greater concern, besides the exact sum of 20 entries in one day (1.2Cr), is Medha Patkar's NGO (NBA) has received funds from Mazagaon Dock Shipyard which is the Ministry of Defence's partner for making warships. What compels it to fund a known N@xal sympathizer?
1/
Though ED, DRI, and I-T have taken note of suspicious entries which was overlooked for 17yrs, the role of Mazagaon must be scanned. It may concern nat'nal security. The mere name of Patkar should buzz alarm as from Sarovar, nuclear, coal mine, CAA to farm laws, there is no

project or reform which she has not protested against in the "interest of" poor & spl tribals. Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) was her flagship project which was rebutted by SC for misleading them for many years. This verdict part from SC is good enough to assess motives of NBA.
