BJP MP's in Parliament today.

JUST IN: Hussain's career spanned over five decades, during which he was revered as both a national treasure in India and admired worldwide.

News agency ANI shared screenshots of several politicians condoling Zakir Hussain's death. Almost every News Channel ran the fake news. They now say Official confirmation from family, hospital is still awaited. Isn't it your responsibility to first confirm from Family and then tweet?

On Sunday night, several Indian media outlets and the I&B ministry prematurely reported that tabla maestro #ZakirHussain had passed away without confirmation from kin. His family says the musician is critical but fighting for life still.

#India: I'm proud of @indexoncensorship.org's role in supporting @zoo-bear.bsky.social. He does essential work, calling out those behind hate crimes in a nation where too often they go unpunished (& appear to be growing). All charges against him must be dropped.

After co-founding the leading #India fact-checking platform Alt News, #MohammedZubair has faced significant threats for challenging misinformation and disinformation propagated by influential members of the ruling party: www.indexoncensorship.org/2024/12/huma... 1/2 @zoo-bear.bsky.social

Now, @zoo-bear.bsky.social faces further charges including sedition. Today, Index releases a statement signed by 11 organisations including
@amnestyuk.bsky.social, @hrw.org, and @pressfreedom.bsky.social, calling for all charges to be dropped: www.indexoncensorship.org/mohammed-zub...

A video of cattle being beaten is viral on social media with a claim that the incident is from a Goushala in ISKCON Bangladesh.

Fact : This video is of an old incident from Jalandhar, Punjab.

The Allahabad High Court petition said UP police officers went to @zoo-bear.bsky.social's home in Bengaluru on 27 Oct, entered his courtyard & appeared to be searching for him. They searched Zubair’s neighbour’s residence/devices. They questioned his father on 28 Oct article-14.com/post/-i-m-us...

Mohammed Zubair has long been targeted for his fact-checking and journalism. In 2022, he was trapped in a 24 day cycle of arrest, bail and re-arrest. Now he faces another FIR, this time threatening charges based on Sedition: article-14.com/post/-i-m-us...

Citing a misleading report by Times Now, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya has claimed that the Andhra Pradesh govt abolished the Waqf Board. This is entirely FALSE. The Chandrababu govt has only revoked a YSRCP-regime order.
