WAS THERE AN INDIAN STRIKE?
The BJP babus have become past masters at creating & circulating myths and
yarns about their party and Hindutva.
Outright lies and fabrications seem to have become an integral part of BJP
Hindu culture. The idea is to glorify Hindutva, exaggerate BJP achievements
and belittle those of the Opposition, especially the Congress. Umpteen
times, the BJP IT team have been caught using pictures of distant foreign
infrastructure (highways, bridges, etc in Canada, Morocco, etc) & claiming
they are Indian structures. The IT team have become experts in locating
suitable objects and artefacts overseas from internet sources.
Prominent persons & opposition leaders have been smeared using past photos
from unrelated events. No shame, no sense of guilt at all.
India was recently named as the worst offender on generating fake news or
representations.
There is one site that has rendered great service to uncover the extensive
fakery going on.
It is www.altnews.in
Here is what this site says about the claimed surgical strikes 2.0 into Pak
territory:
"According to reports, the air strike by the Indian Air Force on JeM terror
camps was conducted at around 3:30 am on February 26, 2019. Alt News found
that this video, used by multiple news organisations reporting the attack by
IAF, was first posted in 2017.
In September 2017, a YouTube channel uploaded a video titled ‘Flares at
night Paf F-16’. The video is posted below. It can be seen from 0:34 onwards
that a part of this very video has been used by the news channels.
"Moreover, Alt News found that the same video was posted by a Pakistani
Facebook page on February 24. It had been posted by the page Fans Of Imran
Khan. It was also tweeted by a Pakistani user on February 25, with the
narrative that it showed Pakistani fighter jets engaged in a military
exercise in the Cholistan region."
Much more can be said but this will do for now.
[ Unfortunately, GoaNet does not permit displaying images, so we can't
illustrate our point convincingly.]
Readers should inspect the site for themselves.
