In Purnia, Bihar, A newly married girl Vandana Kumari was strangled to death and her body was hung in her house by her ex-boyfriend Shelendra Kumar. He later confessed to his crime after arrest.
You'll hardly see any News Agencies or Channels covering this because there is no Hindu-Muslim angle to this. Neither did this happen in States ruled by opposition.
livehindustan.com/bihar/purnia/s…Image A 30-year-old woman Praviya was stabbed with a knife and later burnt to death by her Ex-boyfriend on the Kodumunda coastal road near Pattambi.

Thread 🧵
A lot of RW accounts are finally trying to Fact Check @dhruv_rathee for his video on how BJP encashed Electoral Bonds purchased by a Beef Export company Allana groups.

For the context, Before Fact checking Dhruv's and Khan Sir's video, Let's go back to 2012-2015 and see a few videos of @narendramodi speaking against Export of 'GouMaas' ( Cow Meat) and incidentally, during the same time, Received donation of ₹ 2.2 Crore in 2013-14 and ₹50 Lakh in 2014-15 from a Beef Export company Allana groups. Did you know, In BJP election rallies, CM Narendra Modi, spoke several times about 'Pink Revolution' ( Gulabi Kranti). In his speeches, He spoke about how the Congress Govt was giving subsidies to the butcher House which exported 'GouMaas' ( Cow Meet).

Wait.. Did we ever officially export GouMaas ( Cow meat) to foreign countries?. It was always Buffalo meat which is also referred to as Beef or Carabeef. Wasn't this a misleading claim by Narendra Modi in 2012?

Shazia, A student from @GalgotiasGU schools the News Anchor that Media's job is NOT just to report what the Govt says, But to Fact Check too. 🙂

After a speech at #E4MSummit 2024 by @e4mtweets, Sudhir Chaudhary takes a few questions from the University students in the audience.
Shazia questions Sudhir Chaudhary about misinformation by the Media, Gives an example of the recent @BJP4India's Election ad campaign "Modi ji ne War Rukwa di papa, aur fir humari bus nikali papa".
To which @sudhirchaudhary in the end says: This was because the Opposition didn't like this (Propaganda?), Let's suppose if there was no opposition, People would have praised the PM for stopping the Ukraine way.
What if your father had stopped the war, Wouldn't you be happy?"

To which Shazia interrupts : “If the war had actually stopped, But it didn't”
By the way, It's International #FactCheckingDay today.
Full video at the end of this thread. Question by Shazia: There was a recent BJP ad campaign, in the campaign, they showed PM Modi stopped the war in Ukraine so that students from India could be rescued. But we also saw several videos of students there which were contradicting this Statement. This misinformation was also run by several News channels including @aajtak, Don't you think the Media is amplifying such misinformation to the public?

A Thread 🧵
We at @AltNews have observed that supporters of the BJP often portray members of opposition as pro-Pakistan. We have debunked several such claims where names of leaders have been misrepresented as ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ by BJP members & News Channels & their Anchors. 👇 1. Ujjain videos: “Qazi Saab Zindabad” slogan mistaken for “Pakistan Zindabad” in a Taziya function organised by BJP member Shabnam Ali.
