The song they are dancing to is called 'Jeet Gaya Bulldozer Wala'. It's made by Chanchal Banjara who identifies as 'lead singer and vocalist' at BJP.

Who says BJP hasn't created employment opportunities for the youth?

Enter the dark world of 'BJP Music'.

THREAD

1/7 'BJP Music' is a verified channel on YouTube where 'Hindutva singers' hype the BJP, criticise the opposition and indulge in the occasional hate speech.

For the past few weeks, @AltNews has been working on stories related to hate speech and reaching out to social media platforms to deplatform dangerous individuals. Facebook has been the most unresponsive when it comes to taking action.

THREAD

1/n We wrote to @Meta @bipchakr @Sunitapatnaik3 on December 6, 2021 about Bajrang Dal member Harish Ramkali who posts videos of demolishing Mazars. He also regularly posts videos where he accuses Muslims and Christians of running conversion rackets.

Yati Narsinghanad disciple Suresh Rajput regularly posts hate speech videos targeting Muslims. @AltNews wrote to @Facebook following which few of his videos were taken down but the platform failed to terminate his profile. His videos gain lakhs and thousands of views.

THREAD 1/9 “We do progressive reviews and put restrictions on accounts when they violate. When the account meets the threshold to disable, we take final action,” was Facebook's response when questioned about its failure to deplatform Rajput.

Who is behind "Sulli Deals"? A thread.

1/14 The GitHub account @sullideals was created on June 13. That same day, now-suspended Twitter account @sullideals shared several pictures of Muslim women. The user's bio carried the link to “Sulli Deals” on GitHub.

The past few days of tasteless communal reporting by mainstream media on violence against Muslims brings us to a story not being talked about enough - 10 people arrested in Ujjain for allegedly chanting 'Pakistan Zindabad'. NSA invoked against four.

THREAD Videos of a Taziya function held a day before Muharram were reported by the media as 'proof' of the slogans being raised. The videos were picked up from social media and reported at face value. No verification.

The properties of that doc say '6 pages' but y'all had shared 8 pages yesterday. Did your dog eat the rest?

To give a background - BJP leaders, including Mr Patra, alleged that Congress prepared a 'toolkit' to target BJP. The format of a genuine 6-page AICC research on Central Vista was poorly copied and its letterhead forged...

.@Facebook recently removed 'false information' warning from a video shared by BJP's @himantabiswa. This led Biswa to further his false narrative. The tech giant claimed it doesn't fact-check politicians but the reality is that it does sometimes...when convenient.

THREAD (1/6) Here's a fact-check warning placed on Congress leader Udit Raj's post. In fact, Facebook had also added a similar warning on a post by BJP's Tajinder Bagga. (2/6)

A couple of weeks ago, an @IndiaToday anchor was trolling @AltNews for a typo in one of our reports. It's flattering that we are held to such high standards but everybody would be better off if spelling mistakes were the only kind of errors @IndiaToday and @aajtak made.

THREAD The channels aired a video of Sushant Singh Rajput dancing with his choreographer as his niece. This was to 'prove' that he had a good relationship with his family.

A Delhi-based NGO 'Call for Justice' had submitted a fact-finding report on Delhi riots to Amit Shah at his residence. The report, which attempts to blame the Muslim community for the riots, is full of fake news.

THREAD 👇

.@TV9Bharatvarsh thinks Maulana Saad is an Islamic preacher by the day and a superhero by the night. Think Kitty Pryde from the X-men.

Thread 👇 In an April 18 broadcast, TV9 claimed that a secret underground tunnel runs through Nizamuddin Markaz.

.@republic is trending #ExposeFakeNews so let's help them out, shall we?

THREAD 👇 On April 8, @Republic_Bharat aired a broadcast where it claimed that a coronavirus patient from MP's Khargone died on March 28. He had a foreign travel history and had also visited Nizamuddin Markaz.

The channel blamed him for hiding these details.

.@IndiaToday gets almost everything wrong in its 'exclusive' on Jamia violence. The channel played a clipped video handed over by the SIT to water down police brutality, investigate @thisisjignesh and @Priyankajha0.

Thread 1/4

altnews.in/india-today-an… via @AltNews The viral CCTV footage of police lathi-charge took place on the first floor.

The video played by @IndiaToday - where students are barricading a door - was from the second floor of the reading room. But @IndiaToday portrayed it as the precursor to the lathi-charge. 2/4
