Alt News claims Tablighi Jamaat converts to Hinduism to target Swati Goel Sharma
Op IndiaEver ready to shield Islamists and downplay crimes committed by Muslim youth, propaganda outlet Alt News recently came up with a ‘fact check’ that made a ludicrous claim that the Islamic missionary movement Tablighi Jamaat is involved in converting people to Hinduism while attacking Swati Goel Sharma, a Swarajya Magazine journalist who is at the forefront in covering hate crimes committed against Hindus. The propaganda outlet even quoted Swarajya journalist Swati Goel Sharma, who had tweeted that given her familiarity with Dawah activities, Khan appeared to be a recent convert to Islam. A very likely Tablighi connection https://t.co/Sf2W6Lxgpy — Swati Goel Sharma November 25, 2022 However, perhaps because of low comprehension skills and an eager zeal to discredit Swati, who has been a thorn in Alt News and other fundamentalist organisation’s side with exposing Islamists, the propaganda portal alleged that Vikas had recently converted to Hinduism and very likely had a Tablighi connection. The error is sincerely regretted.“ Source: Alt News After Alt News issued a corrigendum, Swati took a dig at the portal for making more “inadvertent errors” than fact checks..@AltNews is a fact-checking website that makes more ‘inadvertent errors’ than fact-checks pic.twitter.com/fYf3XVvpZQ — Swati Goel Sharma November 26, 2022 A man who identifies himself as Rashid Khan justifies the murder of Shraddha Walkar While the police claimed that the man who justified the murder of Shraddha Walkar is Vikas Kumar, he has been consistently referring to himself as Rashid Khan and insisting others call him Rashid.
