BJP trolls are mass reporting accounts & hashtags of activists.

@TwitterIndia algorithm doesn't understand Malayalam, Tamil & mass reporting seems to trigger suspension automatically.

Probably why huge volume # of Mizos protesting Assam blockade didn't trend?

@TwitterSafety Saw same happen on people tweeting on Lakshadweep. Accounts were suspended as BJP trolls mass reported accounts with open threats

Why has @DelhiPolice not arrested BJP troll farm op Pawan for manhandling ASI Parmatma of Lajpat Nagar PS?

How could SHO Lajpat Nagar barge into my house at midnight and force to delete this video when it's not his jurisdiction? My PS is Amar Colony

CC @amnestysasia @RSF_en And they suspended the account @ballalzai I used to upload the video when I couldn't access this account ImageImage

Mullah Omar Irani of anti-Iran terrorist group Jaish-ul-Adl was killed by Pakistani police at the behest of MI in Turbat yesterday. Some in ISI had tipped him off and he was trying to escape. Seen as an attempt to get Baloch dissidents in Iran in exchange by Pakistan Iran carried out a drone attack against him in Kalahoo district of Kech in 2013. He managed to escape but his daughter was killed. He was then shifted to a posh area of Turbat by Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI

A small thread on the behaviour of Jamiati thugs. I've not come across such uncouth behaviour from the Talibs even after I provoked them a lot. I once called Ghani a pet dog of US and none of his supporters came to abuse me. One of them, a friend, messaged me and said "I didn't expect this from you, Aveek." we debated and he said wait a few months and you'll know. It was polite throughout

The way people of BJP and RSS go about mocking everything Russian, they shouldn't act surprised when Russia cozies up to Pakistan. US will come to our rescue just like 1962. Of course foreign policy isn't shaped by egos but India is a junior partner in the India - Russia and can't afford to act in such a fashion. When politicians and children of serving top bureaucrats keep vilifying Russia, don't expect them not to return the favor

India shouldn't pay heed to the US paid Indian "analysts". US has 108% debt, China has 50%. China will lead the world. Our interests lie in working with China and not US It was Nehru's blunder to trust US and that led to 1962 war. Today's China won't defeat India, it will pulverize India
