Today’s idiom of the day is ‘Biting the hand that feeds’, and it must be dedicated to Propaganda Journalist and the apologist of Islamism in India ie. Rana Ayyub. Ayyub is notorious for peddling Islamo-leftist propaganda and carrying out smear campaigns against India on foreign lands. 

Social media platform X is currently filled with the tweets of Rana Ayyub where she could be seen insulting and throwing vile remarks against Hindu deities, Maa Sita and Bhagwan Ram. Not only this but she is also notorious for backing, parroting, and supporting the line of India’s enemy state, Pakistan, and whitewashing the crimes of hardcore Islamists and terrorists like Afzal Guru as well as sympathizing with the Pakistan Army. 

On March 13, 2013, Rana Ayyub posted a derogatory post on Bhagwan Ram where she wrote, “Ahem”@SitaOrMargarita: Ravana didn’t touch Sita even though he could. Ram didn’t stand for Sita even though he should have. Ravana 1 Ram 0.”

She also endorsed the baseless, hateful article to showcase Bhagwan Ram as a misogynist. Ironically, she was one of those who spearheaded a vicious campaign against Nupur Sharma when she retorted to Lord Shiva’s insults by an Islamist and said what several Islamic scholars and clerics have uttered in several of their public addresses. 

In January 2013, she expressed sympathy with the Pakistani soldiers when the Indian army neutralised many of them. Afterward, she went on to accuse netizens of indulging in ‘jingoism’ when a section of the users had called her a deshdrohi (traitor) for expressing sympathy with the Pakistan Army. 

In her contentious post, Ayyub wrote, “So am a desh drohi if I tweet about Pakistani soldiers being killed by the Indian army. Wen jingoism covers up for uncomfortable facts!”

Rana Ayyub has also questioned the operations of the Indian Army and sided with the Islamic terrorists that were neutralized in the Sophian encounter. She even went on to accuse the Indian army of “staging” an encounter and “planting” weapons to tag “youths” as terrorists. 

She had tweeted, “How an Army captain ‘staged’ killing of 3 Rajouri youth in a controversial Shopian encounter. The accused, including an Army officer, planted illegally acquired weapons and material on the dead bodies of the three youths to tag them as ‘hardcore terrorists’.”

Also, she has been a firm apologist of Islamic Terrorist Afzal Guru who was involved in the Indian Parliament Attack in 2001 and was hanged to death on February 9, 2013. She took to twitter to question the collective conscience of India for hanging Afzal Guru. “With Afzal Gurus hanging our collective conscience is at peace. Well done India”, she said back then. 

In another tweet, she tried to draw a false equivalence of Afzal Guru with Sarabjit Singh who was declared guilty by Pakistan after he was framed in fake cases of spying and terrorism and later got him murdered in the Central Jail, Lahore.

Taking to X, Ayyub wrote, “Pakistan did to Sarabjit what India did to Afzal Guru. Both blots on judicial process & human rights. Appeasement of fanatics 2 retain power”. 

Over the years, Rana Ayyub has been involved in numerous controversies with significant developments putting her credibility as a journalist in the dock. One of her most notorious controversies stemmed from her book “Gujarat Files – Anatomy of a Coverup” in which she claimed a big expose regarding the 2002 Gujarat riots. However, the Supreme Court criticized the book, dismissing it as filled with conjectures, supposition, and lacking evidentiary value. The court’s scathing remarks exposed her propaganda in the garb of ‘journalism’ and busted the falsehoods that the Islamo-leftist ecosystem had been pushing through using her book on Gujarat riots.

Earlier in her career, Ayyub was associated with the controversial media outlet “Tehelka”, founded by Tarun Tejpal, who faced serious charges of sexual assault. Notorious for peddling Hinduphobic content, she has also frequently made provocative comments, particularly targeting Hindu customs and festivals. In foreign media outlets such as The Washington Post, Al Jazeera, and The New York Times, Ayyub could be seen spreading canard to paint the Modi government in a bad light, which ends up serving an anti-India narrative on international platforms. 

Additionally, Ayyub is accused of receiving unauthorized foreign funds without government clearance, violating the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). This controversy further intensified after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) linked her to a money laundering case, stating that she had misappropriated public donations, using them for personal expenses and foreign trips instead of the intended charity work.
