Team News Riveting
New Delhi, June 12
Reeling to keep its house in order following economic crisis, neighbouring Pakistan is leaving no stone unturn to encash the controversy that flared up with the alleged remarks against Prophet controversy.
The Digital Forensics Research and analytics centre (DFRAC) in its latest report highlighted that out of more than 60,000 users analysed, majority of them were the non-verified users who all interacted with the hashtags. 60,020 were the non-verified accounts from different nations who all interacted on the hashtags with more than 7,100 accounts from Pakistan.
As per the DFRAC report, several media houses including Pakistani Ary news had run wrong news that Oman’s grand Mufti announced Boycott of Indian Product. Although, he had criticised the remark on Prophet Mohammed and asked all Muslims to unite against it. The claim that he started the Boycott India trend is however misleading.
Interestingly, Pakistan’s former ambassador Abdul made a baseless claim that expelled BJP leader Naveen Jindal is the brother of Industrial Jindal.
A fake screenshot in the name of English cricketer Moen Ali in which he is talking about boycotting IPL also went viral. Some of the most commonly used hashtags were #Stopinsulting_ProphetMuhammad, #boycottindianproduct amongst many.
This development comes in the wake of several Islamic countries including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Maldives, Oman, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, and Iran have strongly condemned Sharma’s remark on Prophet Mohammed. However, Iran, as well as Qatar, have released statements that they are satisfied with the Indian government’s actions against the leader who made the controversial remark about the Prophet Mohammed, DFRAC report said.
