This is a gem. @RadharamnDas vice-president of ISKCON-Kolkata retweets a claim that there is a mosque near the mishap site in Balasore and hence Muslims made the accident happen. The building is actually an ISKCON temple. @IskconInc does this man represent your ideology?

"My personal sense of justice feels betrayed," she had written. Don't know whether the revelation will now betray her personal faith in the Modi government as well.

We need to pause for a moment and think where will so much hatred take us? To some promised land? To another election sweep? To another five-year term? To the fulfilment of some ideal? I remember Garcia Marquez. "No ideal in life is worth that much baseness," he wrote.

"it’s also important to distinguish between the state government in Gujarat and the executive office of the Prime Minister and the distinct separateness of their jurisdictions," she wrote in @IndianExpress on Sept 12. One doc out in public & all the verbiage goes down the drain.

This is not the first time @DebjaniBhatta20 has targeted Muslims. In Feb 2023, she shared a clipped video of a speech by Taha Siddiqui and made FALSE claims. The Alt News report on this can be read here:

It would have saved the venerable editor-in-chief a lot of time and hard work, and some loss of face, given that 'Anish Mukherjee never disclosed his association with Alt News and Pratik Sinha' is the crux of her rant.

Not stopping at this, @DebjaniBhatta20 has claimed that she has come to know from 'very reliable sources' that 'minority students' are behind the studemt death at #JadavpurUniversity . @KPSouthsubnDiv @CPKolkata should note.

In connection with the unfortunate death of the first year student, she has also claimed that JU has more minority students at the moment than ever in the past and alleged that 'state officers from minority community' have made this possible.

What's the relevance of the communal slogan & the call for violence? None. But BJP knows targeting Muslims is the only way to stay politically relevant. Using language used by trolls, @SuvenduWB told reporters: Maku-Seku-Hosiyar! (Marxists & seculars, be aware!)

Swapnadip Kundu, a fresher at #JadavpurUniversity 'fell' from the second floor balcony of the main hostel in the late hours of Aug 9. He died the next day. It is suspected that he's a victim of ragging & sexual harassment. 3 students have been arrested in the case. Probe is on.

This needs to be told. Sherdil, the Pilbhit Saga is an exceptionally well-made movie by @srijitspeaketh The entire narrative is understated; there are more hints than explicit over-the-top statements. That's how any work of art should be. And the soundtrack is mind blowing.

As 'social media head of UP BJP youth wing' (whatever that designation means) she has proven her worth. If she can keep up the strike rate, she'll soon give Malviya, the so-far undisputed king of fakery on social media, a run for his money.

A fortnight since the #MorbiBridgeCollapse . 140 lives lost. What has the govt done? Precious little. No action against Oreva brass. No minister resigned. Not even an apology. That's how little human lives are worth. 'Aa Gujarat mein banavyu che'. Is he really proud of this?

Supreme Court has granted bail to Kerala journalist #SiddiqueKappan . But not before he spent two years in jail. His crime: He was going to cover an incident in #Hathras . He was on his way to report. That was his crime.
