Aam Aadmi Party, ‘Farmers protest’, Greta toolkit and Khalistan: The dots that have to be related

The farmers’ protest, spearheaded by Khalistanis appears to have introduced out the worst shades of the Indian democracy. At the heels of the tried rebellion and unbridled violence that occurred on the twenty sixth of January, the nation noticed political events, who are supposed to shield. The cloth of the nation, shred it to tatters as a result of petty political positive factors have been way more necessary than the reality. While Congress fanned a protest with clear Khalistani roots, Aam Aadmi celebration too, it might appear, was inextricably concerned with the worldwide conspiracy towards India.
After the rampant violence on Republic Day, Greta Thunberg, a younger ‘activist’ whose organisation has resorted to violence and unlawful means to supposedly struggle for the local weather, unintentionally tweeted a ‘toolkit’ which contained your entire plan to destabilise India utilizing social media, bodily protests in entrance of embassies and both digital or bodily presence in Delhi on the twenty sixth of February.
In the ‘toolkit’, a number of names have been talked about as dependable sources – some have been media shops, different, journalists and propagandists. The names of Indian media homes and journalists included The Wire, The Scroll, The NewsLaundry, AltNews, Faye D Souza and a number of other different propagandists who have been extending assist to the rioters of twenty sixth January and likewise, spreading pretend information concerning the farm legal guidelines handed by the Modi authorities.
As quickly because the ‘toolkit’ was tweeted by Greta Thunberg, a number of people on Twitter began taking a back-up copy of it. Instinctively, folks knew that maybe this toolkit can be the important thing to unravelling the conspiracy towards India. However, whereas netizens downloaded the toolkit, it was being edited in real-time by sure people. Two people who have been seen modifying the toolkit in real-time to take away all problematic references (together with the names of media homes, references to Khalistan and many others) was one Shantanu and one Nikita Jacob.
While the toolkit was being edited by Nikita Jacob
It was later reported that Nikita Jacob was an lively a part of the Aam Aadmi Party. Currently, Nikita Jacob has utilized for anticipatory bail, after the Delhi Police issued a non-bailable warrant towards her. She is reportedly absconding from the legislation.
Interestingly, an outdated interview of Disha Ravi that we reported on, Ravi had categorically declared her assist for AAP.
The woman taking the interview questioned what Disha Ravi thinks concerning the “progressive party which got elected in Delhi and then faded out”. The activist helps the interviewer by giving her the title of Aam Aadmi Party. Ravi seconds the interviewer’s opinion. She agrees that the AAP is “definitely progressive”, however the subject is that it’s only central to Delhi and never in another metropolis, so they aren’t with the ability to make a political shift in all of the cities and states throughout the nation. “There are a few issues with the Aam Aadmi Party, but they are definitely better than the others”, says the activist placing her weight behind AAP.
It was additionally reported that Nikita Jacob (absconding), Shantanu and Disha Ravi (a local weather ‘activist’ instantly linked to Greta Thunberg) had created and distributed the toolkit. It was Disha who had requested Greta to delete the toolkit after it was tweeted with the lively participation of Nikita Jacob, who’s alleged to be an AAP activist too. Further, Jacob and Disha have been current at a Zoom assembly with Khalistani Mo Dhaliwal of Poetic Justice Foundation the place that they had hatched your entire plan to create unrest. Mo can be intricately concerned within the formulation and distribution of the toolkit that detailed methods to break India.
For the aim of this text, nonetheless, it turns into important to concentrate on the alleged AAP hyperlink of Nikita Jacob. It has been extensively reported that she is related with AAP, nonetheless, the involvement of AAP itself on this total conspiracy must be seen below the microscope. We had already reported earlier that Congress had tweeted content material instantly from the Toolkit, utilizing the precise hashtag that the toolkit had requested folks to. However, AAP was not left behind both.
The position of AAP in fuelling Khalistani unrest and the ‘toolkit’
As quickly as Disha Ravi was arrested, an activist who works carefully with Greta Thunberg, heads her Indian chapter and, created and distributed the toolkit which had the blueprint to interrupt India, Arvind Kejriwal, AAP supremo, got here out in assist of her.
He tweeted that the arrest of Disha Ravi was an assault on democracy itself.
Arrest of 21 yr outdated Disha Ravi is an unprecedented assault on Democracy. Supporting our farmers is just not a criminal offense.— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) February 15, 2021
It is necessary to reiterate that the toolkit was made by and distributed by Khalistani organisations like Poetic Justice Foundation and Disha Ravi labored very carefully with PJF. Poetic Justice Foundation co-founder Mo Dhaliwal was heard in a video saying, “If the farm bills get repealed tomorrow, that is not a victory. This battle begins with the repeal of the farm laws. It does not end there. Anybody who tells you that this is going to end with the repeal of the farm bills is trying to drain energy from the movement.” 
He additional requested the youth to not dismiss the concept of ‘Khalistan’ and as an alternative be taught concerning the motion and embrace it. While addressing the gathering, the Khalistani supporter that their final goal is identical, no matter whether or not they’re holding a ‘Khalistani flag’ or a ‘farm bill flag’ or a ‘Kesari flag’. “We are being fed language that is separating us from each other,” he alleged.
On the twenty ninth of January, the official account of AAP additional fanned the narrative that the toolkit wished it to additional.

It was on the third of February, that Greta had tweeted the toolkit. Interestingly, it was additionally on the third of February, a lot earlier than the toolkit was tweeted unintentionally by Greta after which, was requested to be deleted by Disha Ravi, AAP had held a press convention saying precisely what the Toolkit wished it to say.

This, is just not all. Several AAP accounts had used the phrase “Stand with Farmers”, one thing talked about within the toolkit and likewise tweeted with the hashtag “Modi planning farmers genocide”. A phrase utilized by a number of accounts fanning the rebellion. In reality, the federal government of India had given a listing of 250 accounts and tweets utilizing this hashtag, to be withheld in India by Twitter. An order that was defied within the title of freedom of expression.

In line with the pro-Khalistani toolkit narrative, AAP social media accounts have been pushing the hashtag ‘Stand with Farmers’. Not solely that, AAP social media accounts tried to accuse the federal government of fomenting genocide. With an incendiary hashtag like ‘ModiPlanningFarmerGenoicde’, there will be little question that AAP accounts on social media tried to create a story which might result in extreme violence at a delicate time.
They have been additionally utilizing the hashtag ‘#FarmersProtest” which was particularly talked about within the toolkit.
However, AAP’s assist for Khalistani components goes past the digital world. Even as ‘protesting farmers’ have been vandalizing and destroying cell towers within the 1000s, with lakhs value of property injury on report, AAP nonetheless facilitated them. AAP gave the disruptive ‘farmers,’, who have been inflicting damages value lakhs and crores, free Wifi at their protesting web site on Singhu border. This free Wifi may very well be the catalyst by means of which on-line accounts utilized the pro-Khalistani toolkit narrative on social media. Until a whole investigation reveals something, we won’t know.
AAP’s History of embracing Khalistanis
In 2014, quite a lot of pro-Khalistani outfits declared their assist for AAP forward of the 2014 Lok Sabha election. In that very same 12 months footage emerged displaying, Jarnail Singh, a distinguished AAP chief who has contested Lok Sabha elections for the celebration, addressed a crowd of cheering Khalistan supporters in London. This rally occurred in June, 2011. Jarnail Singh remains to be part of AAP and reportedly acquired no backlash throughout the celebration.
In 2015, AAP’s Member of Parliament from Patiala, Dharamveer Gandhi himself warned the celebration management towards “playing a dangerous game” by supporting the protest for the discharge of radical Khalistani Sikh militants which was taking place on the time. Gandhi cautioned his personal celebration to not ‘play into the hands of certain hardliners’ speaking about militancy, saying, “We do not want to go down that road again. We have suffered enough in the past.”
AAP Punjab State Convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur had visited Sikh activist Surat Singh Khalsa, who was on a starvation strike since January 2015, searching for the discharge of Khalistani prisoners. Former AAP chief Yogendra Yadav, too, had endorsed Khalsa’s protest.
In 2016, AAP sought an apology from Capt. Amrinder Singh for rightfully referring to some Punjab-origin Canadian minsters as Khalistani sympathizers. Capt. Amrinder hit again at AAP saying, “When the Canadian MPs and ministers did not object to what I said, what makes you act as their spokespersons? Is it to keep the flow of money (from abroad)? Capt. Amrinder Singh further added, “I am surprised by the pain and hurt caused to you by my saying that some of the Canadian ministers are Khalistan supporters, which they are openly.”
In 2018, of their most overt assist for Khalistan but, AAP MLA and Leader of Opposition Sukhapl Singh Khaira launched an announcement in assist of Referendum 2020. Referendum 2020, for these unfamiliar, is a Khalistani terrorist plot searching for a ‘referendum’ to find out the way forward for Punjab i.e. separation from India. The concept of Referendum 2020 is the hallmark signal of a Khalistani who us towards the territorial integrity of India. Criticism of this assertion was aplenty throughout political traces, with Capt. Amrinder Singh strongly condemned Khaira’s assertion.
As we will observe, in its extraordinarily transient and nebulous political journey, the one factor which has remained constantly part of AAP, even when leaders like Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav left, is their assist in the direction of Khalistani components. Ever since its inception in late 2012, Khalistani sentiments have been accepted and tolerated throughout the AAP. Therefore it’s no shock that AAP offered logistical assist within the type of free wifi to the ‘farmers’ throughout their agitation. The sum complete of this mainstream acceptance of Khalistani components inside a mainstream political celebration is now what we see earlier than us within the type of a whole bunch of Khalistani sympathizers breaching the Red Fort and changing the Tricolour with the Nishaan Sahib on Republic Day. That is just not an remoted incident. Rather, it proves that the tolerance of a hateful ideology like Khalistan by mainstream political figures like Kejriwal will solely push India down a path of instability and destruction.
