Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is a controversial figure. @TIME gave him a platform because he's a thorn in the side of #India.

I actually think the interview was good. It made the Khalistan movement look like a bunch of crazy folk in the diaspora with little to no support in India.

When confronted on his threat to Air India. He folded.

Transnational repression is a buzzword in international relations, IHL and HRL.

There is no concrete evidence that India was directly involved in plots. But the fact pattern is being fluffed out. Alarm bells ringing as a result.

"I will never incite the people of Punjab who are working with me to go and take violence as the path. Because that is exactly what I'm fighting. We are fighting India’s violence with votes." We all know that's a lie.

ICYMI: A Chinese security group linked to the Chinese government/PLA by the US Department of Defense is playing defence for radical #Khalistanis.

Qihoo360 was also linked to surveillance and the mass detention of #Uighurs in #China.geo.tv/latest/477200-… defense.gov/News/Releases/…

A US State Department whistleblower exposes how US and UK influence operations maligned #India.

The State Department used the @AtlanticCouncil and other groups to push 'misinformation'. "biased elements in the US foreign policy establishment waged a campaign against Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

Has anyone researched Daniel O. Graham, a former Deputy Director of the CIA and Director of DIA, and his ties to Khalistan radicals, Chohan and Ganga Singh Dhillon in the 70s-80s in DC?

Spook historians have claimed US support for Sikh radicals were part of KGB active measures. Image Image

Was it something I said?

I did protest William Gomes demand for Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh figures to get a Nobel Peace Prize. But that was decades ago. Jamaat got war crimes tribunals instead. archive.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/…

William Gomes better not be receiving a stipend from British taxpayers.

BNP tried to blame Hindus for Islamist terrorism in #Bangladesh while in power.

"Lutfozzaman Babar yesterday said the JMB added a new dimension by engaging members of minority community in its suicide squad."

It was bogus. Lutfozzaman Babar helped to increase Islamist militants targeting #India while he was in control of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The @FBI and @CIA are well aware of Babar's networks in the United States too.

"Pakistan's High Commissioner to Britain Wajid Shamsul Hassan had said in a recent interview with an Indian TV channel that investigations had revealed that the [26/11] attacks were not planned inside Pakistan."

#MumbaiTerrorAttack
#SanctionPakistan "Diplomatic and other sources told PTI that the Pakistani security establishment and the senior American diplomats had been referring to a possible Bangladeshi connection to the Mumbai attacks in the past few days."

What role did US diplomats play in the aftermath of the 26/11? Image

#KashmiriFiles is hated because the film's premise is that liberals don't want to talk about the exodus of Pandits from #Kashmir in 1990.

Now cornered they claim:

1) Islamophobia
2) @BJP4India benefits
3) Propaganda

They never talk about the exodus. indiatoday.in/india/story/as…

Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) chief sued for the death of a Bangladeshi intelligence officer.

ARSA started as a jihadi outfit and then ditched their religious overtones within a year. They wanted support from the USA and Europe. thediplomat.com/2022/11/target…

ARSA leaders originally wanted to become affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) they had meetings in #Pakistan.

LeT and the ISI coralled Bangladeshi and Rohingya militants. The 2014 Burdwan blasts exposed the network to the public.

#ZakirNaik was called "Deedat Plus" after Naik's South Africa based mentor the late Ahmed Deedat.

Deedat was a known radical. He ran the Bin Laden Centre in SA. The Bin Laden Family is large and diverse. There is no suggestion that the Bin Laden Centre was used for terrorism.

Deedat was used by Gaddafi and other radicals to call for an Islamic revolution in Africa in 1995.

They actively planned making Africa into an Islamic state.

@AyoCaesar looks at #Leicester. There are some good points. Undermined by sloppy research.

She quotes @AmritWilson who waded into the debate pushing the RSS Bus hoax. Hasn't retracted it. @ainajkhan debunked it.

Data proving, "Hinduphobia" available. Hinduphobia is used by right-wing political figures and activists as a shield. That's true. But much like Islamophobia it does exist. It's a reality.

@ncri_io shows that anti-Hindu slogans were used. Bigotry from the Hindu side too. They have the data.

@ncri_io has a new report out on #Leicester unrest.

It opens with an acknowledgement that cricket related violence happened in 2017, but that the recent escalation was unique.

@guardian @nytimes come under fire lack of due diligence on Majid Freeman. "As the events in Leicester took shape, NCRI analysis also found coordinated activity coming from self-identified Indian accounts amplifying
blame, ethnic distrust, and accusations against the Muslim community and Islam as a tradition."

Nobody comes out of it smelling of roses.

Are you upset #HRes1430 mentions the religious and ethnic genocide of 1971?

I have talked about Hindus facing communal violence in Bangladesh. Why are you so hostile to the Awami League when they have said Hindus need to be protected?

Are you aligned to the BNP? @sritiochetona who is paying for Bengali Hindu Genocide documentaries?

They are well produced and slick. Yet, they don't have any followers on twitter.

Could it be the BNP, Jamaat, Pakistan, Qatar or Turkey?

The @HJS_Org report is out into the unrest in #Leicester by @CharlotteFLit. It's excellent.

The sophisticated RSS-Bus hoax that was debunked by @ainajkhan was compared with Muslim activists car pooling. No Hindutva or RSS involvement. Investigations did not find #Hindutva extremist organisations operating in #Leicester.

Was BBC Panorama's A Question of Leadership spurious reporting?

The Islamic Foundation has been the centre of Jamaat-i-Islami politics for decades. Are Jamaat Islamist? news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programme…

Was the BBC investigation into the Islamic Foundation's ties to Jamaat spurious and Islamophobic?

Jamaat and Islamic Foundation figures have been linked to bad things. Is it Islamophobic to talk about 1971?

Dr Chris Allen's Forum Against Islamophobia and Racism (FAIR) was formed with the help of Ahmed Kadhem Al-Rawi of Leicester.

In 2004, @lemondefr got access to the Muslim Brotherhood Egypt's international committee (Tanzim Al-Dawli).

Al-Rawi was listed. ImageImage …te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/041275…

FAIR was tied to Jamaat and Muslim Brotherhood figures.

@lemondefr talked about the interpolation of Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat activities. The movements shared donors and institutions around the Muslim world. ImageImage

A hail of bullets is not precision shooting.

The shooter(s) hit a tyre and the rear window. It suggests the SUV went through the road block.

Hopefully an investigation will bring more information. There are lots of conspiracy theories. Axes to grind.

#ArshadSharif
#Pakistan

Pakistan is upset about the killing of #ArshadSharif.

@PTIofficial are using it to bludgeon the Pakistan army.

There was a witness to the whole event sitting next to Arshad. Let's wait to see what he says before jumping to conclusions.

I think the @HuffPost article on Audrey Truschke should have opened with an acknowledgement that Truschke organised the 'Dismantling Global Hindutva' conference last year.

People would want to know the reason why she experienced trolling from the BJP. Image Hinduism is not Hindutva can work both ways. Because all Hindus have Hindutva.

The BJP and RSS doesn't have a monopoly on it.

Which makes Truschke and Co's manual even more dangerous. #Hinduphobia Image

@ArtiParty a lot of American organisations don't do due diligence.

They see Islam and charity. Eyes light up.

It's great that you want to work with Muslims, but Jamaat have been abusing Zakat around the world to promote hate. They target minorities too.

Please reconsider. dawn.com/news/1266124

Well that escalated quickly.

@OpIndia_com and @HinduHate have picked up the revelation that a New York Diwali event was linked to Pakistan's radical Jamaat-i-Islami.

It's not the first time American orgs have skipped due diligence.

@CliffSmithZBRDZ opindia.com/2022/10/new-yo…

Here is the @OpIndia_com piece on the Diwali event. They've gone for the Hamas angle.

Jamaat have a history of funding terrorism and extremism.

Their charities are amazing, but they do skim.

If you think #Pakistan counter-terrorism policy is bad. #Indonesia...

Here is Ustadz Aris Munadar. He's been on the UN AQ Sanctions list for decades. He headed KOMPAK, an al-Qaeda/Jemaah Islamiyah front.

The Muslim Brotherhood's top European operative is still helping him... voa-islam.com/read/indonesia…

Here is Aris Munadar openly supporting ISIS.

Umar Patek, a former associate of Munandar helped lead US Navy Seals to Osama Bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad. @FBI confirmed it. @CIA still deny it.
