Many on Social media and BJP members are claiming that the person in the video/image from Ladakh is a Congress Councillor Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag. Later almost all TV channels ran the same story.
Fact : It's not Phuntsog Stanzin Tsepag.Image It's not easy to identify him with the mask on. So we tried to find another image/video from that day and came across this video. Here in the video, the guy looks very similar to the viral image but without a mask. Similar ponytail, Similarly jacket, Similar Black sleeves.

BJP IT cell and their leaders are sharing an edited image of Rajesh Sakriya, The man who attacked Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta from Rajkot in Gujarat with AAP leader @Gopal_Italia. 😀😀 Image What's interesting ( but not surprising is). Aaj Tak anchor @anjanaomkashyap invited @Radhika_Khera @HarishKhuranna as soon as Harish Khurana posted the AI generated video of the accused with Gopal Italia. Look at Anjana Om Kashyap's reaction. She looks more disheartened than the BJP leaders when she was told it's an AI generated image picked up from an old video. 'Video nahi hai photo hai..... Oh accha Video dala hai?"
Aaj Tak has a separate fact checking unit. Why don't you check with them before running the propaganda set by your masters.

I don't think the IT Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw will take action against these right wing influencers. The guy who doxxed her is linked to his own party. Chandan Kumar Singh @HPhobiaWatch ( another account @TheSquind) has been doing this for years now and BJP has been protecting him.Image

THREAD by @shinjineemjmdr

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’.

There was no fear of Muslims or anyone. The keys of the temple were with Rastogi family, There was no encroachment around the temple. The room next to temple was also built by them.

Long Thread 🧵 Image People supporting the opposition believed that the opposition would speak for them. Muslims who voted for your parties were hopeful that the results would stop the wave of Islamophobia.

Let's debunk the propaganda by @smitaprakash's Agency & @ians_india who claimed "Delhi Women staged a protest demanding payment of Rs 1000 promised by the AAP govt."
These BJP woman who organised this protest were later seen celebrating at McDonald's.

The Woman recording the protest is Pooja Maini Chadha. She can be seen going in a bus to the protesting site. Here @smitaprakash hides Pooja's BJP association because she wants to mislead her viewers to think the protesters are not associated with the BJP.
