[Exposed] The web of lies of alleged fact-check portal AltNews & directors.

Pravda Media (parent co), a not-for-profit, not just making huge profits but systematically retaining most of them.

Let's take a deep dive into the financial stats of the 'charity'.
#TheHawkEyeThread
1/

Pravda, largely run by a trio Nirjari Sinha (promoter & MD) & 2 directors- Pratik Sinha, son of MD (i.e. related party) & Md Zubair.

They often claim crowdfunding as 'only source', however, 38% of funds are institutional grants & 9% comes from interest on FD & other income.
2/

In past 3 years, IPMSF (donated 1.7Cr), same org that funds most of the leftist media. Infosys (10L)’ KRN Murthy is ex Ford Foundation who mediated with MEA/MHA when it was on verge of shutdown. Zindabad Trust (8.5L) run by Arundhati Roy, doesn’t need an introduction.
3/

The directors often pretend to struggle for the monthly fund target, while Pravda has 2.7Cr Reserves (UNUTILISED).

Interestingly crowdfunding (2.9Cr) in the past three years is almost equal to UNUTILISED funds (2.7Cr).

And the bank FD increased from 13L to 1.7Cr same time.
4/

Given the total expenses, Pravda's operational cost is ~9.6L per month.

Simple maths, with 2.7Cr of reserves, the company can run (with the same hefty salary structure) for the next 28 months without any source of income.

And all this while there is frequent fund appeal!!

Do you know that Indian Police Foundation (IPF), a non-profit org that consists of serving/retired top cops from all streams, bureaucrats & having a variety of associations with the public figures including a few NGO that have been a national security challenge?

Read on..

1/

This is going to be a long thread with a brief intro of some people, orgs & then crucial factors.

The thread consists lot of snapshots, recommended to have quick look while scrolling down.

Before you read ahead, understand the thought process behind writing the thread. (P1)
2/

IPF, a NGO, was formed in 2015, largely conceptualized upon ‘SMART’ policing vision by Hon'ble PM. It is a think-tank of public/police/govt top-notches to collaborate for police reform/well-being, which is being said that largely operates from BPRD, Home Ministry premises.
3/

The Executive Committee & General Council is power-hub of 50+ rtd/serving IAS/IPS/TopGovtBureaucrats/ CorporatePlayers/ Editors and ultra high-profile dignitaries, captured in P1, P2, P3.

Pls spend 2 min to understand the profiling.

4/

Most of the credible dignitaries don't need deep insight into the solid construction of the NGO.

Let's look into noticeable members:

Julio Ribeiro- who happens to be a staunch critic of “fascist” Modi/Shah, who recently questioned the integrity of highest offices

FORD is NOT exiting INDIA. Neither it came here just 25 years back with their cars, nor it is going to quit anytime soon.

CIA linked Ford Foundation estb in India in 1952 upon Nehru's invitation, has sent millions$$ since then, until Modi regime holds the rein.

Read on..

1/

As per FF website, it has sent approx $508mn in India (P1,2), having office at 55, Lodhi Estate, Delhi (P3) which apparently is the same address that of UN Information Center in India (P4), enjoying sort of immunity under a "signed memorandum" with GoI in 1952, until 2014!
2/

Life turns here. As soon as PM Modi assumed office, MHA cracked down on all foreign-funded NGOs & subsequently more than 16K NGO were banned for FCRA violation between 2015-19.
3/

FF was no exception and came under heavy scrutiny & had almost "packed". Apr'15 news started surfacing about scrutiny over FF, citing case when FF lent $200K to Sabrang NGO run by Teesta Satelvad in 2008 for fueling communalism & nat'al security concerns.
4/

Here, FF started an Int'nal lobbying, followed by series of meetings with MHA/MEA/FM. Note that in 2008, FF roped in Infy founder NRN Murthy also to executive board, who participated in one such high profile meeting in May'15 with Derren Walker (FF Prez), John Podesta

#WaqfLoot
The most bizarre story surfacing now is that in 2014, a night before model code of conduct applied for general election, UPA govt ‘gifted’ 123 prime properties in Delhi to Waqf Board.

UPA lost the election but not before selling the heart of Delhi.

1/

The properties under question are not just another empty ground in remote area but literally gold mines prime location worth thousands of crores.

2/

The entire matter was executed in a hasty manner within a week that went through chain of approvals by several departments & ministries.

Salman Khurshid was said to be in-charge of this entire execution.

3/

Immediately after NDA formed the government, VHP challenged these properties de-notification, that was inherited from British Raj pre-independent.

In Aug’14 Delhi HC ordered centre to take appropriate decision regarding 123 properties. List - just take a glance.

4/

Govt formed a one-member committee in 2016 for the said purpose which submitted inconclusive report in 2017. In August 2018, govt appointed two-member committee. And in November 21, DDA issued public notice inviting representations with regard to the properties. Read.

INC leader & singer Sidhu Moosewala'a last song "SYL" hits 16mn views in 20hrs. The lyrics & visuals are about disputed SYL Canal which dangerously provokes violence, glorifies terror!sm, & fuels the fire of 'self-sovereignty' in an already struggling nation with anarchism.
1/

The lyrics are "until you satisfy our sovereignty, forget about water, we won't spare a drop of water (of rivers of Punjab)".

Note that the Sutlej Yamuna Link project offers Ravi & Beas water sharing between PUN & HAR, which was inaugurated by Late PM Indira Gandhi in 1982.
2/

The project has bloodied history of protests & k!ll!ngs in 80's, the peak of KhaI!stan & Bhindrenwala. The song warned "If govt won't back off, Jathana will come again", referring Babbar KhaIsa terr0r!st Balwinder Jathana who killed 2 SYL engineers in Chandigarh in 1990.
3/

Jathana, Lf Gen of trr outfit of Malwa region had reward of 16Lac on his head was hailed as a "hero" of the community. He was encountered by cops in 1991, same year 4 of his family members & compliance were burnt alive allegedly by cops with help of a neo-Nihang Poohla.
4/

Song took a jibe at AAP ("Topi" shouldn't mess with "Turban") but aimed at the govt referring to that time of INC. Note that Akali leader Longowal who signed Peace Accord (including SYL) with Rajeev Gandhi was assass!nated by Kh terr0r!st Gian Singh Leel within a month.
