Its founding members include AltNews, Scroll, Newslaundry, The Quint, The News Minute, and The Wire. DIGIPUB is an association of India’s digital media outlets and independent journalists. He claimed that the toolkit shared by the activist in February had been “planned” five months earlier.Īccording to Kumar, DIGIPUB found a mention in Thunberg’s toolkit. Kumar said he aimed to get behind Thunberg’s “money trail”, and said her tweet in support for farmers was a “planned event”. Kumar’s video - which is in English - was promoted as an “attempt” to get to the bottom of the toolkit shared by Thunberg. The first toolkit tweeted by Thunberg - before it was deleted and substituted with an “updated version” - also led Delhi Police to file a sedition FIR against unknown persons. The support expressed by international figures like Thunberg and popstar Rihanna to the farmers’ protest in India has stoked a controversy, with the Indian government describing it as the work of “vested interest groups trying to enforce their agenda on these protests and derail them”. Thunberg had in her tweet said the toolkit had been prepared by people on the ground. The “toolkit” referred to in the video is a document posted by Thunberg last week that sought to explain how people worldwide could express their support for the ongoing farmers’ protest at Delhi’s borders. #StringReveals has #StringedDeshdrohis & exposed the #RealGodiMedia & their #MoneyTrail. Hon'ble ji LIFE'LL BE IN DANGER AFTER THIS VIDEO & ONLY U CAN SAVE ME. He said several journalists, activists and fact-checkers were part of a “money trail” that traced back to Soros.Ī teaser of the now-deleted video was also posted on Twitter, and has gathered over 5.5 lakh views since Wednesday. He also said there is a nexus between institutions funded by US billionaire George Soros and certain Indian media outlets and activists. In the video, Kumar alleged that environmental activist Greta Thunberg’s support for farmers’ protest in India was a “planned event”, and vowed to expose the “toolkit incident”. Īlso read: ‘Conspiracy to malign Indian tea’ - Modi takes dig at ‘Greta toolkit’ in Assam speech There are other journalists, esp women, who are stronger and made of sterner stuff. I’ve reached a point of exhaustion and disgust at the things that are said to me on a daily basis. While took down the video the channel is active & will produce more hate.
Conspiracy theories mixed with call for mass hangings of journalists asking tough questions. In the last 24hrs – we took a big leap towards #QAnonCult style of content. But I will keep asking readers to support good journalism. You can incite violence and ask for journalists to be hanged. You don't get to decide who is anti-national bcos this nation ain't your property.

It's time that creators of such hateful propaganda & its enablers face the full force of the law. BJP spokesperson even tweeted the video tagging me, praised it & challenged me to take legal action. The video (now taken down) was being promoted by BJP IT cell. RTI activist Saket Gokhale pointed out that this “hateful propaganda” was “being promoted by BJP IT cell”. Others like journalists Faye D’Souza and The News Minute’s Dhanya Rajendran also reacted sharply. And finally, for the creators of this video, go shove it. This crappy, defamatory, violent, threatening video calling for our arrest and worse is on This is your litmus test if you're at all serious about platform cleansing.
