It often happens that one focuses more on what he sees rather than what is going on around him but the real stories lie in the things happening around us.
The same thing is happening with the "Boycott India Campaign," which is being carried out in a vicious manner
investigation:
On the surface, the #BoycottIndianProducts appears to be a reaction from Arab world to the ongoing disputes in India. When we took a closer look, we saw that this is a much wider game, and the participants are almost identical to those behind the #BoycottFrenchProducts.

And also, this was not the first time when these players have tried to run a campaign against India, in fact they have been running the #BoycottIndia campaign for long time.
(3/n)
One thing has become evident here: the roots of the campaign to propagate anti-India hatred was already seeded a long time ago. They had been nurturing it from time to time, but they were looking for an opportunity, which was presented to them on a silver platter last week.

Pak's propaganda group, Pak Strategic Forum, which is notorious for spreading propaganda on social media took full advantage of the situation.
PSF not only seeds the anti-India propaganda in Urdu & English, it also has an Arabic division to foment anti-India narratives

When India's commercial pavilion was ready to open in Dubai Expo 2020, the #PakistanStrategicForum aided the #MuslimBrotherhood Network in running and implementing the Boycott India campaign against India, and target Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
(6/n)
This time again, the same campaign was led by the same people & media outlets inclined with Muslim Brotherhood.
This proved that these individuals have been lobbying against India for a long time, but the topic was sentimental this time, therefore they were successful.

PSF was registered by Aanis Kamal, a student of Fazaia Inter College. The college is a part of Pakistan Air Force schools & colleges system as per its website. Aanis has also worked at PTV.
(8/n)
Father of Aanis Kamal, Kamal Pasha has been teaching in Fazaia Inter College, Lahore run by Pakistani Air Force.
(9/n)
The next name in the PSF is of Umair Aslam. Interestingly, his father was also in Pakistan Airforce.
It is now clear that Pakistani is utilizing its citizens in Arab countries to run anti-India narratives, with the help of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated influencers & news outlets. Apart from that, they have been disseminating a slew of other false information about India.

It has also become clear that their agenda has nothing to do with the current happenings in India, and they create an anti-India atmosphere every two months. Their preparation shows that this for long term, and hence its solution will also have to be for long term.
"Independent investigative" journalist Saurav Das recently dropped a hit piece against the former honorable CJI DY Chandrachud via Caravan. Funny how he never mentions his "independent" journalism is bankrolled by known propagandists like Dinesh Thakur.
Let's dive in!🧵
Meet the new bloke in town– Saurav Das
Off late he has become a darling of propaganda portals, this self-proclaimed "independent investigative" (read 𝘥𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘪) journalist uses the independence tag as window dressing for his CV
But actions speak louder than Twitter bios
2/12
Despite the "independent" badge he wears proudly Das' career is built on questionable & paid propaganda pieces
Case in point: his work for The Thakur Family Foundation(TFF), a grant-making front of Dinesh Thakur, known for targeting Indian pharma industry with deep pockets
Farce factory @USCIRF has come up with another dog & pony show- country update report on India
While it is laced with usual anti-India tropes #CAA & #Islamophobia, important to note is person drafting it
Meet Sema G Hasan & USCIRF’s Pakistani pool of “experts” on India
Thread:
The report is curated by Sema Gabriela Hasan, a Pakistani-American appointed as South Asia Policy Analyst first in 2023, then promoted to senior analyst in 2024. Before this, she served as an intern at South and Central Asia Bureau, Office of Pakistan Affairs, US State Dpt
2/n
She has been closely linked to the US State Department, having previously served as a Congressional Staffer at the Joint Economic Committee as a Democratic Representative in 2019.
@AITCofficial MP @sagarikaghose referencing an anti-India #Propaganda front in the Parliament which fabricates ‘minority atrocity, has clear Paki footprints, is blocked in India, and keeps changing the front name when exposed – not once, twice, but thrice.
Small thread:
If she is ignorant about the front (despite being a journalist) then she is unfit to be an MP, and if she knows what she is doing then she is practically colluding with enemies against Indian interests.
This so-called ‘India Hate Lab’ (IHL) was earlier called the Hindutva Watch. Its website and backend tech support were being run from Pakistan. When exposed, it changed its brand to IHL.
There are some in India, still confused about the former US President #DonaldTrump’s conviction – whether it is politically motivated or the rule of law, is taking its course.
A brief explainer on the case and why it matters to us in India.
A Thread:
The case:
It’s a bit complicated. It has been made complicated deliberately. Many (including journalists) cannot explain what the allegations are. Most think it’s the ‘hush money’ Trump paid to former porn star #StormyDaniel
It’s not.
2/n
The charges leveled are ‘falsifying business records’
Trump paid his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay Stormy to STFU. The payment to Cohen was given as ‘salary’ on which Cohen even paid taxes.
This is the ‘mislabeling’ of expenses for which Trump has been convicted. Really?

There are some in India still confused if Donald Trump’s conviction is political vendetta or rule of law. We do a brief explainer on the present case and other cases brought against #Trump and why it matters to us, in India.

Few Facts:
It is FIRST time in US history that a ‘Federal Election Law’ has been used as a direct state crime.
The definition of crime was CHANGED for the case
It is FIRST time in New York that some is changed for ‘falsifying business ‘record’ as felony (serious crime)

More facts
Earlier a NEW LAW was introduced to extend time on case against Trump by #Stormy
Prosecutor is #Soros baby & a political (#Democrat)
Even before joining office he declared to prosecute Trump!
He reduced crimes to minor offences(like our #Pune judge) in 60% cases
Pak/Jamaat-backed anti-India propagandist Raqib Naik filed case in Delhi HC to unban Hindutva Watch & India Hate Lab. He's being aided by Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF) whose lawyers tell story of anti-India collusion via #Thakur #Soros
First proof of his Pak/JeI collusion
🧵
Exhibit A
Hindutva Watch (HW) website was exposed for having backend assistance from Pak. An ‘interactive map’ of alleged human rights abuses in India on HW’s website, was developed & provided by Pak national Sardar Adil Kayani, who runs Pak's ruling PML-N party propaganda
2/n
Exhibit B
In 2021, Raqib received an award from Sound Vision Foundation USA (SVF), a US-based Jamaat front with ISI backing, led by ex-Jamaat Youth Wing head Abdul Malik Mujahid (@MalikMujahid), who supported and glorified terrorism against India.
