New Delhi: The coin drifted in the air, so the story, landed like Dilaar Singh calling it: Fortune has given him the right to die a martyr.Earlier this week, a Portrait of Dilaar Singh – Punjab police who killed the Chairman of the Singh Beant Minister in August 1995 – joined people from many Khalistan terrorists who adorn the walls of the Sikh Menc. Mencil Museum in the Amritsar golden temple.Most of the intended audience – Estimated 12 million Punjabi diaspora in countries such as Australia, Canada, Britain and the United States – will never visit this warning to the killers.
For them, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), who manages the museum and many SIKH religious institutions, have a message on Twitter: Dilaar Singh ended the cruelty and violations of human rights committed against Sikh. “Khalistan’s secessal separation abroad had long remembered the terrorist who was killed.
In 2019, for example, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) based in the United States issued advertisements that respected Talwinder Singh Parmar-who were responsible for Indian Air Flights in 1985 which killed more than 300 people, most of India.The ad was shared ahead of the ‘Khalistan referendum’ arranged by SFJ, who was trying to “liberate Punjab from the Indian occupation”.The Honoring of Terrorists is a “middle” part of the Cyber war to Khalistan, Canadian writer Terry Milewski has recorded.
According to Khalistan Extremism Monitor (KEM), which was run by the Think Tank Institute for Conflict Management (ICM) based in New Delhi, Twitter has become a weapon of Khalistan Propaganda.”Incidents such as farmers’ protests 2020-2021, Ludhiana court explosions in December 2021 and warnings of threats by SFJ and other pro-khalistan elements,” a report of KEM obtained with a print record, “produces many attractions on the platform.”Last month, when the Khalistan flag was found tied to the gate of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, Twitter was flooded with around 35,000 tweets related to Khalistan. Tagar like #khalistan, #SFJ and #punjab are the most popular.
This is higher than the traffic related to Khalistan in December 2021, during the protest of farmers and the Ludhiana court explosion, when traffic reached around 20,000 tweets.The KEM report records that it is difficult to see where this traffic comes from. Twitter’s privacy policy makes it impossible for geolocate 76 percent of tweets. However, 6.36 percent came from India, the other 2.06 percent from Pakistan.
The Indian government has taken strong action in several cases of pro-khalistan propaganda. Apart from the criticism of the Amritsar Museum, both, both the state and the central government are reluctant to take action against the Khalistan terrorist commemoration.Like the real world terrorist group, the Khalistan online network not only spread their goals, but also tried to silence criticism, said Ajai Sahni, ICM Executive Director. “Some complaints are issued against such user posts, either as” hate speech “or” spam “, which, in some cases, can cause the account to be suspended automatically.” Milewski described the “suspension team” governing the mass of complaints designed to flood the Twitter system “.
He gave an example of a suspended Twitter account that was deferred by Mumbai called “Team Real King”, who had posted evidence of “victim”. “Case No.#2748. The account has been suspended by Twitter. Category: Islamophobe. Goodbye @punteet_sahani, “read the tweet from the account posted last November.The “victim” mentioned here is a SIKH activist based in New York, Puneet Sahani.Sahani runs a small group of researchers known as Sikhs for Enlightenment Values Association (SEVA), which claims to refute Khalistan Online propaganda.
Sahani said his account was suspended by Twitter in November, then restored in January and was suspended again in May. He shared with a printing screenshot from three tweets that were considered “hate speech”. Tweet includes a speech by Bhindranwale, with inflamed anti-Hindu content.These three tweets are not really polite but how do they mean hatred?” He asked. “All I do is quote literary and historical materials to refute Khalistan’s myth and call Bhindranwale a ‘genocidal monster’, which he,” said Sahani.
Shruti Shreya, Program Manager for Platform Regulations in Think Tank Dialogue Technology Policy, said that usually there are complaints officers who verify complaints but add that platforms must ensure they have “adequate labor” to handle a large number of complaints received every day.The name Sahani is famous between the Sikh circle, and the work of his team has been criticized by people like SGPC.
A SGPC spokesman told The Print: “We have received some complaints from SIKH around the world to people like Puneet Sahani who are known to demean and pollute the Sikh community on social media.” The spokesman did not offer specific examples to support his claims.Pro-Khalistan figures like Shamsher Singh have described Sahani as “BJP Stooge” known to “take the Khalistan movement outside the context”.
