Many of you are aware of a new documentary series, produced by the BBC on PM @narendramodi
In the first episode, @BBCTwo tried to give a clean chit to the extremists who set the Sabarmati Express on fire in Godhra & burnt 59 Hindu pilgrims alive.
Here is the truth (1/n):
At about 9:12 minutes into the episode, it claimed,
"The final death toll was 59 and the cause of the fire was disputed. But at the time, Muslims were blamed."
So who burnt the train? The judgment of the special fast track court on March 1, 2011, has the answer. (2/n)
11 extremists were handed the death penalty for orchestrating the carnage.
6 years later in 2017, their death penalty was commuted to life imprisonment.
And this is without accounting for the 20 other extremists who were awarded life imprisonment originally on March 1, 2011.
(5/n)
Now, check the names of those men who were awarded life imprisonment for the Godhra train burning incident in 2011.
Special thanks to @LekhakAnurag for helping me find the original judgment copy.

20 convicts awarded life imprisonment for 'Godhra Kand':
Suleman Ahmad Hussain, Abdul Rehman Abdul Majid Dhantiya, Kasim Abdul Sattar, Irfan Siraj Pado Ghanchi, Anwar Mohmmad Mehda, Siddik, Mehboob Yakub Mitha, Soheb Yusuf Ahmed Kalandar,Saukat, Siddik Mohmmad Mora (7/n)
Abdul Sattar Ibrahim Gaddi Asla, Abdul Rauf Abdul Majid Isa, Yunus Abdulhaq Samol, Ibrahim Abdul Razak Abdul Sattar Samol, Saukat Yusuf Ismail Mohan, Bilal Abdullah Ismail Badam Ghanchi, Farook, Ayub Abdul Gani Ismail Pataliya, Saukat Abdulah Maulvi Isamail Badam, Md Hanif (8/n)
Now, tell me the religion of these men @BBCTwo ? Shamelessness has a limit. You cannot dispute a truth that is carved in stone.
I am tired. For the past 20 years, the 59 Hindu pilgrims who were charred to death have not been able to rest in peace. (9/n)
Their deaths have been subjected to vicious conspiracy theories, ranging from short-circuiting BS to RSS/BJP workers setting Sabarmati Express on fire.
These 59 victims (mostly women and children) need closure. And we know who killed them. (10/n)
The findings of the Nanavati-Mehta Commission& the final Special Investigation Team (SIT) tell us the reality.
It is not your truth vs my truth. This is everyone's truth & no conspiracy theories can hide the role of Islamists in the Godhra carnage.
So whenever someone tries to downplay the Godhra incident as disputed, read out these names aloud. Let not anyone mistake into believing that Sabarmati Express burnt on its own/ caused by the passengers.
Extremists did it and we know who they are. Regards

#Bonus1: What is this @nitishrajpute ? Little surprised to be honest. Do I send you the court documents for you to learn about the 'cause of fire' in Godhra carnage?
"All of them were either a party to hatching the conspiracy or were among those who entered the S-6 coach, tearing open the vestibule and pouring petrol in the coach before setting it afire."
The man in the picture is a German Youtuber named Christian Betzmann.
Recently, he drew public ire for abusing Indian street vendors & patronising his audience about social etiquette in the West.
It now turns out that he has also been a controversial figure in Pakistan. (1/n)
"The audacity to drive through a street and scream to buy their freaking fruit.”
"How is this not banned? Every day 20 dudes scream in front of my Airbnb to sell their shit. I should buy all his pineapples and shove it up his a*s. Bi*ch.”
- Christian Betzmann (2/n)
His ‘privileged’ and insensitive rant on the social media platform drew the ire of his Indian audience.
Christian Betzmann then went a step ahead and claimed that Indians will probably also justify rape as it has been happening for a long time.
US-based soccer journalist Grant Wahl dies in Qatar, a day after criticising Qatari World Cup organisers for their lack of empathy towards migrant labourers.
(1/n)
“They just don’t care. Qatari World Cup organizers don’t even hide their apathy over migrant worker deaths, including the most recent one,” he had written on December 9.
One of the least known aspects of the #MumbaiTerrorAttack of 2008 was the religious profiling of victims & selective targeting of non-Muslims by Pakistani terrorists.
This reflects in the dossier sent by the then-UPA government to its Pakistani counterpart.
Thread (1/n):
Here are the details of conversation between an LeT terrorist and his Pakistani handler:
Yesterday, Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan got engaged to celebrity fitness trainer Nupur Shikhare.
The duo was in a relationship for over 2 years.
After the pictures of the event surfaced, extremists abused Aamir Khan for letting his daughter marry a non-Muslim.
Thread: 1/n
“Aamir G*andu change your Muslim name” - Masab Khan.
One Mohammed Arshad Raza insinuated that Aamir Khan forgot (all rules of the Islamic Faith) after acting in the movie ‘Ghajini’ where the protagonist was shown to have short-term memory loss.
Not to forget the curses!
2/n
The usual suspects then take it to the next level.
Besides referring to Aamir Khan as 'g*ndu', one Adeel inquired whether Ira Khan wore a chaddi for her engagement.
“Indian Muslims are Muslims by name… They even marry kafirs" - Atif Cheema.
In 2015, 'Shraddha murder case' accused #AftabAminPoonawala targeted the BJP with a 'dubious claim' that one of its party workers supposedly dressed up in a burqa and tried to throw beef inside a temple.
(1/n)
At that time, the matter was reported by India news. However, they failed to conclude whether the claim was true or fake.
It said that the images were going viral on Facebook, based on a tweet (that was deleted at the time of reporting).
