Within a day or two of reporting on a South African NGO seeking a probe into the functioning of the Ambanis' Vantara animal rehab project in Gujarat, three major media houses deleted their stories. @free_thinker and I tried to find out why. Image
Image WAPFSA, consisting of 30 orgs, urged South Africa’s environment ministry to investigate the transfer of wild animals to the Anant Ambani-led Vantara. In a letter, it raised concerns about potential non-compliance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Image

On Feb 23, Dhirendra Shastri, who has previously ‘prescribed’ gaumutra & haldi as a cure for cancer, laid the foundation for a ₹200cr cancer hospital. PM Modi attended the event & praised his ‘younger brother’ for his efforts in unifying Hindus Shastri’s fame spread through his 'miraculous abilities’ — claiming to heal the sick and read minds. He holds televised ‘Divya Durbars’ attended by large crowds, where he calls some attendees and diagnoses illnesses without medical tests, and performs other supposed ‘miracles’.

Suspended BJP MLA T Raja Singh attended several rallies in Maharashtra in the past month, where he delivered vitriolic speeches and made open calls for violence and boycott against Muslims. The many FIRs against him failed to deter him. Shrirampur, March 10:
T Raja is heard addressing Muslims as ‘Landya’ (a slur) several times.

“Jo bhi landya Love Jihad karega, arey beta tum aadhe kate ho, pure kaat denge", Singh is heard telling the sizeable crowd as he is met with a huge round of applause.

As news of Junaid & Nasir's death broke, Monu Manesar released a statement denying any role of Bajrang Dal in the incident.

Alt News dug into the social media accounts of two of the accused in this case and found many strong links to the outfit, and to Monu Manesar. Rinku Saini, an accused in the case, was arrested on February 17.
There are several posts on Facebook congratulating Rinku on becoming the chief of the cow protection team for Bajrang Dal Mewat at a provincial meeting in Kurukshetra. All these posts are from January 22 and 23.

THREAD: Around Nov 4, Sudipto Sen's promo for the upcoming film #TheKeralaStory was trending. He shared the clip and wrote, "Soon u’ll get to see a film which u never imagined, in ur remotest imagination." Why was #TheKeralaStory trending? There is a tested appetite for such films. More specifically, the actress can be heard saying that 32,000 girls have been converted to Islam and sent to Syria and Yemen.

BJP leaders @amitmalviya and @TajinderBagga tweeted a clip with a misleading claim and yet again spread misinformation after Nabanna Abhijan took a violent turn on Sept 13. Here is a fact-check for @AltNews by @Indra_Calcutta and myself. At the Chittpore crossing, a few steps from the famous Royal Indian Hotel, BJP supporters clashed with police. They beat up an unarmed ACP and fractured his arm. They also set a PCR van ablaze. All this was caught on camera.
