Another #IndiavsPakistan high voltage clash in #AsiaCup2022 & another orchestrated disinformation from across the border!

Several Indian players targeted, but #ArshdeepSingh was specifically picked to render the #Khalistani agenda to gaslight the Indians.

Chronology:
To the world it was made to look that Indian accounts pushed the narrative but in reality, conspiracy was cultivated by Pakistan’s Zaid Hamid and fact Checker @zoo_bear that pushed the narrative.

(2/12)
To understand how this disinformation propaganda unfolded, we pulled two sets of tweets on keywords #indvspak #pakvsind #asiacup and ‘arshdeep’ & ‘Khalistan’; all used during the game, right from the 1st ball till the Pakistan's winning moment.

(3/12)
A total of 117,200 tweets were done on #indvspak #pakvsind #asiacup out of which merely 35 tweets were in context of #Khalistan. It represents only 0.06% of the total tweets.

Even in these 35 tweets, 1st tweet comes from a Pakistani account at 11:06 PM (IST).

(4/12)
We also analyzed tweets with keywords ‘arshdeep’ &
‘Khalistan’ in which only 75 tweets were made from 74 handles during the match. Of all the accounts, 37 had location of #Pakistan origin.

(5/12)
It was not possible for those 75 accounts to push the propaganda which were in fragments. So, after the game, Zaid Hamid encashed the opportunity & propelled the propaganda at 11:28 PM IST.

(6/12)
But the real communal color was given by Mohammad #Zubair who took resort to dummy, fake and Pakistani accounts which were amplified and the audience further jumped into it.

(7/12)
They say old habits die hard and so was the case during the time of Mohammad #Shami when ‘fact-checker’ Zoo bear came later on and pushed the agenda, terming Shami as a Pakistani. The same toolkit was put to use even yesterday.

(8/12)
Even the Wikipedia page of #Arshdeep was edited with the intention to label him as Khalistani, all done from Pakistan...

Later, @GoI_MeitY summoned the platform.

(9/12)
Even after the match numerous Pakistani accounts came in and pushed the agenda as analyzed by @saikirankannan after Arshdeep dropped the catch.

(10/12)

Fuelling of such propaganda isn't possible without intended/unintended assistance of Indians.

Several prominent Indian handles helped fuelling the fire. Some of them included @sanket, @chitnispurva, @lambaalka, @_sayema... without even fact checking those claims.

(11/12)
It was a toolkit 2.0 replicating the similar Md. Shami's incident during last year's #indvspak game.

Pak propaganda picked by some 'purported' fact checkers & amplified by the useful idiots/ wilful collaborators who help in the success of such disinformation propaganda.

मनीष सिसोदिया के शराब घोटाले केस में CBI ने जिन 15 व्यतियों पर आरोपपत्र जमा किया है उसमें 5वें नंबर पर जो Vijay Nair नाम है वो बहुत इंपोर्टेंट है।

इस व्यक्ति से जुड़े लोगों के तार स्वरा भास्कर समेत अमेरिका से चल रहे भारत के खिलाफ दुष्प्रचार से भी जुड़े हुए हैं।

थ्रेड:
विजय नायर की कंपनी OML काफी बड़ी तादात में Stand up कॉमेडियंस को मैनेज करती है, AIB जैसे ब्रांड भी इसी कंपनी का हिस्सा रहे हैं।

यही कंपनी Netflix, Amazon Prime आदि पर इन आर्टिस्टों को प्लेटफार्म भी दिलवाती है।

(2/n)
इसी कंपनी से जुड़ी एक कॉमेडियन है Kaneez Surka जो कि अमेरिका से खालिस्तानी और इस्लामिस्ट गठजोड़ के साथ ऑपरेट कर रहे फ्रंट HFHR के साथ आज एक फंड रेजिंग शो करने जा रही है।

India’s popular pro-claimed fact-checker Md Zubair, who can see stones as wallets, is under the bus and being targeted by the online trolls with absurd claims & conspiracies of resemblance with terrorist Ajmal Kasab.

A fact-checking thread:
Several online trolls have been sharing a fake conspiracy about Zubair, some either calling him the cousin of Ajmal Kasab & some went a step ahead to call him the living Kasab!

We felt, Zubair needed our help. So, we did some fact-check to quash such conspiracies.

(2/n)
We did some ‘reverse image search’ & realised that Kasab & Zubair were never previously related nor compared to each other. We purely believe in ‘facts’, so we present to you the discrepancies in those conspiracies & put forth real facts as evidence.

A US-based entity is giving cash prizes to Indian journalists in the name of "Human Rights and Religious Freedom Journalism Awards".

And these so called journalists are rejoicing while ignoring that who is behind this so-called award.

Expose:
"Human Rights and Religious Freedom Journalism Awards" (HRRFJA) is a shady front created by yet another dubious org.- Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) registered in the US. HRRFJA was formed in March 2022 for distributing cash prizes to specific set of journalists.

Tracing IAMC’s history was rather easy. Not many people know, but IAMC was booked by the Tripura Police under the UAPA for instigating communal violence by sharing fake news and videos.

In the last few years, there has been an upsurged discourse on the "Caste" angle in the US. Recently, Google was the lectern for controversy on it. The same attempt was seen to malign CISCO earlier. But in both cases, involved was a common organization.

Investigation thread:
That torch-bearing organization leading the campaigns on the "Caste" faultline in the US is #EqualityLabs. Its founder, Thenmozhi Soundararajan, calls herself a Dalit activist, & claims her roots from South-India, but she was born & has lived in the US in her entirety.

(2/n)
But as soon as we started searching the internet about Equality Labs, we saw many articles and reports pointing to the evidence that Equality Labs is a part of a larger network that thrives on maligning India ever since its inception.

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.

(2/n)
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.
