How fake news has been deployed by the Pak and Islamists in #Leicester to generate the victim-hood narrative, while simultaneously unleashing violence on others over the past few weeks.
Leicester: A case study
First Claim: The narrative of how ‘Racist Hindus’ provoking Muslims, was widely shared on social media by several Islamist handles.
Fact: Videos circulated on social media were of a mob shouting ‘Allah hu Akbar’.
(2/n)
Second Claim: Racist Hindu mob raised anti-Islam slogans on streets was widely shared by Islamists & local media (without any evidence).
Fact: Mob was shouting slogans of ‘Vande Mataram’ & ‘Jai Shri Ram’ to protest the violence against them, indicating no communal angle.
(3/n)
Third Claim: Another claim that Hindu mobs #vandalised the local mosque while shouting anti-Islamic slogans was widely circulated on social media.
Fact: Police confirmed that no such incident took place. Instead, Indian flags were vandalised by Islamists previously.
(4/n)
Fourth Claim: An Indian youth tried kidnapping a Muslim school girl. Local media fell for that fake news seeded on social media.
Fact: Leicester Police confirmed that the incident didn't take place. In fact, Islamists attacked Indians & local police with knives.

What’s the playbook?
Inciting communal unrest by seeding fabricated narratives & sharing fake news, & under that cover, to unleash #violence; at the same time play the victim card while giving it a communal angle.
(6/n)
The ulterior agenda:
Hindu vs Muslim narrative was just a ploy. The real victims under the target of #Islamists were Indians. Is it surprising, that of all Indians, it was the youth with the #Indian flag on his car who was framed for the fake incident!
(7/n)
And it was effective...
Most Indians who put tricolour after #HarGharTiranga campaign on their houses and cars were forced to remove it. Several such instances of violence against Indians were reported, orchestrated by the Pak groups & Islamist mobs in #Leicestershire.
(8/n)
Who was behind it?
The handle @Majstar7 was proactive throughout the incident & played a key role in giving it communal touch to cause unrest where Indians were targeted.
Going through his tweets, we found how #Pakistanis were constantly amplifying his agenda.
(9/n)
Every Islamist invariably is linked with terrorism:
Case in point, #Majid was exposed for promoting and supporting the members & subsidiaries groups of #AlQaeda.
(10/n)
Majid also works for an #organization ‘One Nation’ & does fundraiser projects for them. One Nation’s founder Arshad Patel was arrested during the investigations of the July 5, 2005 London bombings. While his sister was the wife of one of the suicide bombers in the attack.
(11/n)
The SOP deployed was successful into harassment campaign by Pak & Islamist groups to silence the Indians living abroad. With the aid of staged #Fakenews on social media, all that was required was to continue hammering the communal perspective.
"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?
3/n
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.
A Thread:
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)
2/n
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.
