Prominent Indian politician Shri Rahul Gandhi, during his proposed #RahulInUSA tour,would attend several public events. He may not know, but some ‘coordinators’ who are claiming to be associated with events are Pak Jamaat-e-Islami & Muslim Brotherhood-linked fronts

A Thread Image
The event (June 4) in New York is coordinated, among others, by Tanzeem Ansari, who is the Amir Outreach Committee of Muslim Community of New Jersey (MCNJ).  MCNJ is led by a Pakistan-born Imaam Jawad Ahmed, Project Director of Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA).

(2/10) ImageImage
#ICNA is a radical Islamist org, associated with Pak's Jamaat-e-Islami, & tows Pak's line against India & has linkages with radical & terror orgs. They glorify terrorists such as Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin for his “cause of separation of Kashmir from India."

(3/10) Image
Another coordinator of the eventis Mohammed Aslam a member of Muslim Center of Greater Princeton (MCGP), another close partner of ICNA.  Banned radical group #SIMI founder is also ICNA member. Fronts like #JusticeForAll; #HhRD operate under ICNA/ Jamaat umbrella.

(4/10) ImageImage
Another self-appointed coordinator for event, Minhaj Khan is linked to anti-India lobbying group Indian American Muslim Council(IAMC). IAMC relentlessly targets India on pretext of human rights, religious freedom, & via sharing fake news to stir communal unrest in India.

(5/10) Image
IAMC had engaged US lobby firm, paying them USD 55K Dollars for Lobbying the USCIRF against India in 2013-14, during Dr. Manmohan Singh Govt itself.

(6/10) ImageImage
IAMC’s Exec Dir Rasheed Ahmed is the Exec Dir of another Jamaat affiliated ‘charity’ front Islamic Medical Association of North America (IMANA), which exploited India’s goodwill & raised millions of $ during peak Covid in name of helping India & siphoned off all the money
(7/10) Image
Fun Fact: IMANA at one end is associated with retired Pakistani Army/ Naval officials; & at another end associated with Terrorists groups – LeT & Hizbul Mujahideen. Full spectrum of Pakistani establishment. One can only imagine where the Covid relief fund has gone.

(8/10) ImageImage
Orgs. like IAMC and ICNA sit at confluence of Jamaat & Muslim Brotherhood (MB). IMANA’s members have been part of MB front Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). In 2017 ISNA Canada was implicated by Canada Revenue Agency for funding ‘charity’ wing of Hizbul Mujahideen

(9/10) Image
These fronts relentlessly pursue their anti-India activities, irrespective of which Party govt is in power in India. Only the narrative changes with change of govt.

Pakistan’s ISPR nexus, led by Pakistan Strategic Forum (PSF) ran a sophisticated information warfare Op against India over the Israel-Iran-US conflict.

Purpose: TO DEFLECT focus from their boss, COAS Asim Munir's US trip, while Israel & US launched missile strikes on Iran.

🧵 Image
Amid multiple reports that Pakistan betrayed Iran from the backdoors by aiding Israel & the US which was marked by COAS Asim Munir’s US visit 2 days after “Op. Rising Lion” (Jun 13) & his Pentagon & White House meetings before “Op. Midnight Hammer” (Jun 22) attacking Iran

(2/n) Image
To deflect blame from Pakistan’s betrayal of Iran, PSF handles ran a coordinated disinformation campaign in a phased manner laced with fake news, fake narratives, Identity impersonation & cross amplification and amplification by ISPR influencers & Pakistani media.

Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif is meeting Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan TWICE in ONE month post the Pahalgam terror attack & after #OperationSindoor

This not only reveals the true nature of their alliance, but also EXPOSES their Transnational alliance against India!

🧵 Image
What we’re seeing today is a reflection of years of planning & collaboration. From 2018's coordinated social media campaigns to 2022's RToK in Sarajevo, every major anti-India narrative has been amplified simultaneously from Islamabad & Istanbul!

2/n Image
The Erdoğan network isn't just diplomatic, it's operational. Through a web of NGOs spanning continents, the Erdoğan family has built an influence ecosystem that abets everything- from Hamas to Pakistan-sponsored anti-India campaigns including terror attacks.

The India-Pakistan conflict may have ended militarily. But during & after the fighting, a blitz of info warfare raged online. It's time to understand how this info war took over the internet, with certain countries siding with Pakistan to peddle their full-blown propaganda

🧵 Image
From fake news to doctored videos to deepfakes & recycled war porn, the India-Pakistan conflict exposed the scale of global propaganda—from China to Turkey to Bangladesh—as Pakistan & its allies launched a full-blown disinfo blitz against India in view of #OperationSindoor

2/n
Post Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan started leveraging its access to Western media like its next-door neighbour to push its anti-India propaganda. Pak journalists at CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, NYT, began publishing anti-India narratives with baseless claims & no evidence.

Pro-MAGA accounts on X recently falsely accused Indians of running a merchandise buying scam on Meta & duping Americans.

But this claim lacks teeth & basis. Our investigation reveals it is far from the truth. This scam empire is actually run not by Indians but Bangladeshis!

🧵 Image
Recently, an X user falsely accused Indians of running a vast network of state pride-themed Meta (Facebook) groups, using recycled content to boost engagement for Meta’s creator fund, while exploiting Americans emotionally & selling them low-quality/ undelivered products.

(2/n) Image
However, the user lacked plausibility & evidence in blaming Indians. We checked that this scam was indeed happening on @Meta at a much larger level than one could fathom!

Meta, once a revolutionary platform, has now become the hotbed of these large-scale scams.

USAID has been in news for its notorious operations of funding Ops. globally. While its role of regime change operations is being discussed, full picture remains unclear when it comes to India.

We add nuance to this discourse with what we have reported in the last 4 years.

🧵
From anti-India advocacy groups to U.S. federal commissions, NGOs, terror outfits, and philanthropic networks—USAID's funds flow through all, fuelling multilayered operations to exploit fault lines & destabilize India.

USAID is one common focal point of all!

(2/n) Image
While USAID directly sends funds to India, a major benefactor for its global Ops including in India is George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF)

B/w 2002-22, USAID pumped over $16.23m & USD 400m to Soros-backed institutes & Tides group ($27.05m) for interference Ops

What does it take to whitewash terrorism on an institutional level?

Entire state machinery, transnational media collab & a new geopolitical buzzword for 2025 to shift focus from real issues like terrorism; cloaking it under HR advocacy

Making of ‘TRANSNATIONAL REPRESSION’

🧵 Image
For over 15 months, we’ve been monitoring narratives being peddled against India. >170 articles, Op-Eds, reports from Western media, churned out literature in large nos. to generate max. impact. All used a common trope- ‘transnational repression’ (TNR).

2/n Image
Notably all Western media portals peddled a common narrative- Downplaying the Khalistani Agenda!

Word cloud of articles suggests that Khalistan emerged as a convenient backdrop for allegations that systematically transformed into an global narrative of TNR against India
