Barkha Dutt has an array of ‘coincidences’ while peddling Kashmir separatist agenda, gets caught lying

If one says that Barkha Dutt is the icon of an anti-national individual, they would not be making a defamatory statement. From sympathizing with Burhan Wani to being lauded by Hafiz Saeed, Barkha Dutt has left no stone unturned to peddle separatist propaganda and side with the terrorists. Now, amidst article 370 discussions, the Radia Tapes star, Barkha Dutt has not shied away from peddling an alarmist perception on Kashmir, desperately going to extreme lengths in order to make her story believable.

In her blatant, biased coverage Barkha Dutt claims that she met the person in question, Idrees ul Haq by co-incidence and proceeded to share his and his family’s sob story. According to Barkha Dutt, the Idrees, working in Pune was extremely worried for his diabetic mother in Kashmir and sent a video to Barkha Dutt seeking help. Barkha Dutt put up this video on Twitter. Later, on her ‘coverage’ of Kashmir, Barkha Dutt said that she ‘coincidentally’ met ‘the same man’, Idrees ul Haq on her flight to Srinagar, from where she followed him to his home and shared the atrocities the Kashmiris were suffering. Very impromptu and candid.

While all this is well and good, Barkha Dutt’s true coverage has been brought to light by twitter user Bala who has uncovered the real relation between her and Idrees ul Haq.

A further dig by Bala revealed that in fact Barkha Dutt had known the individual in question even in 2012. She was fondly speaking to Idrees ul Haq on twitter in 2012 but in her latest propaganda video on Kashmir she claims to have only recently known about him. This is either a strange coincidence or a big fat lie.

All these facts only indicate that there was nothing ‘coincidental’ about the meet. Barkha Dutt planned the incident and in all probability fed him the details of the sob story he was supposed to relay on camera and garner the sympathy of the citizens, earning Barkha Dutt some brownie points.

Moreover, it is not just Barkha Dutt, Idrees has been the blue eyed Kashmiri boy of all the liberals in their propaganda, including Congress leader Shashi Tharoor and NC chief and former CM of J&K, Omar Abdullah.

The twitter user, Bala also revealed that Idrees has been in touch with NDTV from 9th August. He also called Srinagar a different “country” and that he is a hardcore separatist who wished death upon Modi-Shah government.

Thus, Idrees seems to be the one stop for all the liberals peddling their fake propagandas and sob stories. For a separatist such as Barkha Dutt, who started her career by blaming the genocide and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits on Kashmiri Pandits, and sympathizing with the poor Muslim Kashmiris, who had to massacre the Pandits for they had all the economic control in the valley, should have been the major red flags. Further, her irresponsible and disastrous coverage of the Kargil war that resulted in the death of many Indian soldiers, and the Radia Tapes, all show that as a journalist she has failed massively. However, her sympathy towards separatists and terrorists has helped her remain a liberal icon.

Now, she is using her popularity to peddle some more separatist propaganda and in order to do to, she has resorted to lying. Unfortunately for Barkha Dutt, this is the age of social media and nothing stays hidden.

Ironically, the liberals are using Idrees ul Haq and his family to explain why abrogation of article 370 is the worst thing that could ever happen to him, when he himself is working in a private job in Pune, for lack of opportunities in the valley, due to the existence of article 370 in the first place.
