Independent journalists are being widely praised for their coverage of the ongoing protests in Delhi. But what lies behind this carefully cultivated image of independence?
These journalists openly give protesters a platform, take their side during confrontations, and even obstruct police action. Their conduct during protests is there for everyone to see.
I decided to put some of these self-proclaimed independent journalists to the test. Using a fake email ID, I approached several of them with a proposal to create Instagram videos for the SP ahead of the 2027 UP elections.
What happened next? They responded with work samples and quoted their prices for producing political content. I’m sharing screenshots of the email replies I received from each of them as evidence.
Meet journalist Mamta Singh. You may have frequently seen her videos on the media outlet News Capsule. Mamta Singh quoted ₹40,000 for a single reel. 1/

The claim that PM Modi visited Epstein’s island 320 times is false. There is no mention of any such thing in the Epstein files.
इनकी चारित्रिक गाथा, कपिल मिश्रा ने जो अब बीजेपी में है, दिल्ली विधानसभा में बताई थी।
बाकी बीजेपी की मधु किश्वर ने बताया।
ऐसे शासक को एक क्षण के लिए भी सत्ता में नहीं रहना चाहिए।

AAP leader Ashutosh Ranka launched a campaign against the CAA in 2019 and started an online petition opposing a law meant to grant citizenship to persecuted Hindus, Sikhs and other religious minorities.

Abhijit, how many years ago are you talking about? Because in 2019, Ashutosh Ranka was campaigning in an AAP cap, playing religious politics and rallying Muslims in the name of CAB.

A few years ago, Ashu had a high-paying corporate job in London, earning millions. Saurav was writing about the country’s legal system and living a great life. Both had successful careers, financial security and every reason to continue living the lives they had built for themselves.
But they chose to give it all up in the hope of making this country a better place. They had absolutely no reason to leave behind their comfortable lives, take to the streets, face uncertainty and eventually end up in jail. Yet they did.
What I admire most about these two is that despite coming from privileged backgrounds, they chose to fight for those who aren’t as fortunate. They could have easily looked the other way, enjoyed their lives and never bothered about the struggles of people they had never even met. Nobody asked them to make these sacrifices. Nobody expected them to. But they did, because they genuinely care about people beyond themselves.
And to me, that is the greatest quality a human being can have. To stand up for people you don’t know, to fight battles that aren’t your own, and to risk everything you have so that someone else might have a better life.
That’s the kind of people Ashu and Saurav are.

After my threads, the 'Pappu Media' has become a talking point in the Delhi protests.
🧵THREAD | PART 2
Human Online journalist Garima Singh has been receiving praise for her coverage of the Delhi protests.
But here’s what happened when I approached her using a fake email ID, offering her a project to create political reels for the SP ahead of the 2027 UP elections.
Garima quoted ₹12,000 for a single reel. She also acknowledged that she had previously made videos for the Trinamool Congress (TMC). 1/

Objectionable AI videos of women performing Garba during Navratri are going viral on social media. Several Instagram accounts are manipulating original videos of women, using AI to alter their clothing and portray them in an objectionable manner. I have mentioned some of these Instagram accounts in this post.

Old video from August.
#Khulasa : लोकेशन: लंदन । मुद्दा : Anti SIR Protest
सवाल : पाकिस्तान के झंडे का एंटी SIR प्रदर्शन में क्या काम ?
सबूत :
1. अपनी आँखों से देख लीजिए:
हिंदुस्तानी से ज़्यादा पाकिस्तानी हैं इस प्रदर्शन में
2. बहाना SIR है , निशाना नरेंद्र मोदी है। गाना जय हो है..और नारा लगाने वाले ज़्यादातर पाकिस्तानी हैं
3. मुद्दा बना रहे हैं हिंदुस्तान में डेमोक्रेसी ख़तरे में हैं और हाथ में ज़्यादातर झंडे पाकिस्तानी हैं
4. लंदन में किसी ‘ ध्रुव’ नाम के यूट्यूबर का वीडियो शेयर करने या उस वीडियो पर सौ परसेंट यकीन करने से पहले ये देखिए भीड़ कहाँ से आई है, प्लान किसका है ।
5. दुनिया में मचे कोलाहल के बीच हिंदुस्तान में एक ही बात अच्छी है, हमारी डेमोक्रेसी की stability. कुछ लोग regime change के नाम पर यही छीनना चाहते हैं
6. 140 करोड़ के हिंदुस्तान में जब दो हजार की भीड़ नहीं जुटा पाए तो कुछ लोग लंदन पहुंच गए हैं , क्योंकि वहां पाकिस्तानी भीड़ जुटाया जा सके ।

सवाल मोदी का नहीं मुल्क का है

एक पत्रकार किसी नेता के साथ फोटो खिंचवा ले या उसके साथ बैठकर चाय पी ले, तो उसे गोदी मीडिया का तमगा दे दिया जाता है। लेकिन जब दूसरा पत्रकार हाथ में माइक लेकर नेता के खिलाफ मुर्दाबाद के नारे लगाता है, तो उसे शानदार, बेबाक और निडर पत्रकार बताकर उसकी तारीफों के पुल बांधे जाते हैं।
ये कैसा मापदंड हैं?
मेनस्ट्रीम मीडिया हो या सोशल मीडिया हो…जो आपके मन मुताबिक ना बोल रहा हो उसके खिलाफ नारेबाज़ी करके वायरल कंटेंट बनाने का प्रचलन बढ़ गया है..ऐसे ही लोग भीड़ को उकसाकर मारपीट करने का माहौल भी बनाते हैं…जबकि @ShyamMeeraSingh जैसे पत्रकार शानदार काम कर रहे हैं…

So, is Congress using influencers to damage the image of Hindus?
During a recent protest, a minor boy was beaten, but Congress IT Cell portrayed the child as a girl. The party’s social media chief even referred to the child as a Hindu daughter.
Now look at Instagram influencer Bhavishya Khatwani, whose profile features multiple videos questioning Hinduism and Hindutva.
When I contacted Bhavishya with a proposal to create political videos, his response made it clear that he has been making paid videos for Congress.
Screenshot of his email response in the next post below. 👇

Bhavishya Khatwani shared an Instagram reel URL in his email and stated that he had charged ₹17,000 for making that reel.
What’s interesting is that the link opens on the Congress party’s Chhatron Ki Goonj page, featuring Bhavishya praising Rahul Gandhi while talking about the event.
In my two previous threads, several other people also came to light who attend Congress’s Chhatron Ki Goonj event. These same individuals were willing to accept my offer to create political reels for money.
What conclusion should we draw from this pattern? Are these creators also producing paid political content while presenting themselves as independent voices?
In Bhavishya’s case, he shared the reel himself and stated the amount he charged. The link and his email response speak for themselves.
