The valley is seeing an attempt at revival of terrorism. Suddenly ‘new fronts’ with English names have surfaced - People's Anti-Fascist Front (#PAFF); The Resistance Front (#TRF); United Liberation Front Kashmir (#ULFK); & Kashmir Tigers etc.,
Starting about 2019, the US Embassy in India and its Consulates – all started workshops on “counter disinformation” across India - Kolkata, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai.
Act I: June 13: UK
These elections saw the most intrusive foreign reporting – overwhelmingly negative and obviously brazen. Tropes from the ‘Western media’ heavily laced with hyper adjectives and double standards forcing a meta narrative into the bloodstream of internet.
In Dec 2023 Livemint claimed that the US recalled ‘bad’ Indian meds. It was a headline spin – Indian med was a fraction of US meds. But why the negative spin on Indian pharma? We were interested and did what we do. Dig.
The two ‘activists’ - #ISIS fame Saquib Nachan & #OFMI fame Bhajan started together in 1992, & have been working on a two-pronged Hybrid-Warfare against India – spanning three continents and four decades.
First, the claim of our association with Govt agencies/ RAW. The report is essentially a recycle of previous reports published by Pakistani ISPR/ Info-war machinery. The report is periodically recycled, last by known fake news peddler CJ Werleman.
First, philanthropist #Soros
Verma did a shoddy fan piece on #RaqibNaik and #HindutvaWatch (HW) but made NO attempt to verify the facts that:
Incidentally, the FT story about ‘Saving Pannun Ryan’ comes AFTER Canadian claim regarding Nijjar but the incident happened BEFORE that, or so it claimed. The article didn’t clarify why the ‘sources’ leaked it NOW.
The story in question: a story replete with multiple ‘insiders’ and ‘anonymous sources’, claims that there is an attempt to throttle free speech by the Indian govt. But there are virtually no facts, except that the number of requests from govt to X has increased.
HW started as a Twitter handle in 2019, & its website also became operational in the same year. It had no fathers until owned by Raqib Hameed Naik in 2023 with the help of WaPo journo Pranshu Verma. Verma didn’t even check the dates claiming it was founded in April 2021!
Shri Gandhi during his Europe tour reportedly attended an event in Brussels on Sep 7.While neither Congress overseas nor other official platform had mentioned, self-styled human rights org, Netherlands-based Foundation London Story(FTLS) claimed it had organized the event
Before explaining the larger agenda behind it, it would be helpful to understand:
As noted in previous thread, while early discussion on #Manipur_Violence had majority of keywords ‘Tribal’, ‘Kukis’, ‘Meitei’, etc., in no time a group of Manipuri a/cs. Mushroomed– both as #Kukis & #Meiteis– & started fighting each other. Internet was then shut in Manipur.
Earlier, PJ had shown a similar concern on #Kashmir in 2019. And as a pure coincidence, US based Lobby firm Holland & Knight was hired by Pak Govt during the same time. And, per their own documents, PJ was one of the “persons approached” by Holland & Knight.
#SB403 introduced by Senator Aisha Wahab to ban #castediscrimination was passed by California Senate Judiciary Committee last month was based on a ‘single’ caste survey report by #EqualityLabs. The Survey in question is a 2018 survey conducted by 4 people.
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).
The report is based on documentation of ‘atrocities on minorities’ by organizations – such as IAMC (ouch!), Open Doors, ICC, and FIACONA. We won’t waste breath on IAMC, so let’s have a look at the other players, starting with FIACONA.
#USCIRF has hired Mohamed Magid, former head of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) as Commissioner in Aug’22. He has served as VP & President of ISNA between 2010-14 and still attends ISNA events!
