3 days back I highlighted the misleading headlines by @TOIIndiaNews that the KAR bill is about the ban on Non-FSSAI certificates and NOT Halal or any food consumption.

Today, ToI has issued a clarification word to word, rectifying its mistake.

#Bareilly: Principal Nahid Siddiqui and shiksha mitra Wazeeruddin has been suspended for making children recite Md Iqbal’s “lab pe aati hai dua”.

Cops have booke duo on the charges of hurting religious sentiments.

1/ Image
However Principal Siddiqui said she was on leave when this happened & in past also she has refused permission for this particular poem when sikhsha mitra Wazeeruddin insisted.

++Info:Allama Iqbal is known for his “tarana-e-hind” song - ‘sare jahan se accha’ written in 1904 when it immediately become popular patriotic song depicting his secular views.
“maz.hab nahīñ sikhātā aapas meñ bair rakhnā
hindī haiñ ham vatan hai hindostāñ hamārā”.

What's the source of such data shared by Rahul Gandhi in every other post?

As far as 'the Unemployment Rate% in India' is concerned, it has been between 5 to 6% in the last 20 years (except pandemic-years). Now it is a little above than pre-pandemic range.

1/
Rahul Gandhi tweeted Youth Emp Rate% is 42% (source?). Even that doesn't seem correct figure. As of 2021, it was 28%.

NOTE - 'Youth unemployment%' is tricky. Why the word "Youth" makes a lot difference? Because it measures the age bracket 15-24yr..

2/
..whereas, the essential graduation study goes up to 21yrs in India. So generally this figure would always be on the higher side.

Yes it is rising gradually, but how much?
Before the great 2008 recession= 17-18%
2014 = 21.22%
2019 = 22.74%
2021 = 28.26% (pandemic effect)

This is consequences of misleading headlines. A selective narrative from Gulf will start now.

@TOIIndiaNews , I highlighted this misinformation yesterday. And now its on global news.
@MIB_India fyi ImageImage
HJS who raised the concern first, only talks about arbitrary certifications, charges to obtain it, economic repercussions. They talked about entire Halal market (food, cosmetic etc). They submitted a memorandum to KAR minister that explicitly mentioned “certification”

2/ ImageImageImage
The letter written by @CTRavi_BJP to the governor urges prohibition of certification issuance by anyone other than state/centr govt affiliated body. Interesting the letter didn’t even have word “halal”. The minister also mentioned the bill may bring ₹5KCr additional revenue.

Alt New Co-fo @zoo_bear found on the wrong foot again, and now trying to mislead by sharing further wrong info.

@RShivshankar referred to a report in 2008 by Raghuram Rajan committee proposing financial products in compliance with certain faith/religion.

Here is that report.
1/
Link to report jrvarma.in/reports/Raghur…

This is the cover and acknowledgment page written by Raghuram Rajan.

2/
There are 100s of report coverage, analysis, further studies on this subject.

The news got buzz again after many years when RBI dropped the proposal by RRR.

What explains Rana Ayyub's dropping followers count?

While her Insta 'monthly gained followers' are touching zero, Twitter count running into negative since few months & had lost ~5K followers in just Nov'22.

A handle with over a million followers, this is rare scenario.

1/
The covid-fund-scam accused is quite vocal on SM & follows a conscious pattern on platforms. e.g. Insta posts often include leisure trips, but the sentiments for Twitter are more political & communal.

However, the loss of the count is evident on both platforms on daily basis.
2/
Note that daily or monthly gained followers count is the delta of "followed" - "unfollowed".

e.g. if 10 new followers are added, and yet 'total gained' count is (-5), means total 15 handles unfollowed.

So the leaving handles per day may be higher than its appears in stats.

Viral Video: The location where Indian soldiers can be seen pushing back Chinese soldiers is indeed Tawang border, AP.

The video was apparently shot from near the (upside of) Holy Water Falls - Chuming Gyaster.

Co-ordinates: 27°46’41"N 91°59’20"E

1/
This place is at the India-China-Bhutan border.

For ease of understanding, zoom in and match carefully - the peaks of hills, water springs, edges of terrains, and canyons.

So one thing is clear the video is not from Galwan as many handlers doubted.

2/
The video is undated but we can have a window on visual assumptions. Most of the Chinese soldiers are wearing covid face masks, while Indian soldiers are not.

So the video may be shot between 2021 & 2022.
