Toolkit case: Congress AltNews caught in a bid to save itself, open fake Fact Check poll

New Delhi: As soon as the Congress's 'toolkit' was leaked on Tuesday (May 18, 2021), an undeclared mouthpiece of the Party came into the fray with its false facts to defend the party. The toolkit contained a complete blueprint to defame Hinduism by defaming Kumbh, glorifying Eid, tarnishing the image of the country and PM Modi, tarnishing India's name through pictures of burning pyres and corpses. AltNews then served a lie to the public in the name of his so-called fact check and then smeared it. Let's understand how people were misled to save the Congress. In fact, the leaked Congress toolkit clearly stated that the party leader should tag the handles of the Congress party and its leaders before helping any victim on social media amid the corona epidemic. The plea was then asked to go viral with the help of some 'friend journalists'. Congress leaders would then "help" Fariadi. It also had instructions to give priority to journalists and influential people.

 

AltNews set out to deny this and claimed that Congress leaders were also helping those who had not tagged him or his party. Pratik Sinha and Mohammad Zubair's portal AltNews claimed that the Congress toolkit on a fake letterhead was created by its opponents to defame the Congress. At the same time, a woman named Sakshi's tweet showed up as evidence. But AltNews claimed that Sakshi had not tagged the Congress party or its leaders, yet the National President of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) Srinivas BV assisted him. The tweet is from Monday, just a day before the toolkit was leaked. In this tweet, Sakshi had asked for plasma for a patient. Srinivas and Sakshi then spoke that plasma therapy had been removed by the government from corona treatment. Srinivas then sent a number to Sakshi through a message and asked him to contact the 'SOS team'. Now the question arises whether the chairman of the IYC did not actually act according to the toolkit and came to help without tagging himself or his party. In fact, it is not so. Sakshi had tweeted another, quoting the tweet with SOS hashtags, jimsen had tagged several stalwarts of the party, including former Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

 


The so-called fact check of the AltNews, which described the Congress toolkit as an opposition conspiracy by talking about a "comparative study", spread the lie that the Congress leader helped a woman without being tagged. But when the poll opened, AltNews secretly removed Sakshi's tweet from his article and replaced it with journalist Aditya Raj Kaul's tweet and also edited Sakshi's name in the article and named it Aditya. It can be seen that Kaul had pleaded for O group blood for a covid negative patient who had undergone liver transplant. Srinivas replied to them saying that blood has been arranged and they are also sending two other donors. Now did AltNews correct his mistake by deleting Sakshi's tweet and posting Aditya's tweet? No Because, Kaul's tweet was made after the toolkit was leaked, and the tweet after the toolkit was leaked does not matter to the issue.

Team India leaked the toolkit at 10:01 am on Tuesday, while Aditya Raj Kaul's request tweet is from 11:04 am,  a full hour later. Kaul's tweet also forgot that the so-called fact checker AltNews that the same toolkit talked about giving priority to the requests of journalists. AltNews sought to prove that the toolkit was fake and was not being worked out. But alas, this tactic of AltNews did not work and got stuck on their own.
