BJP minister has threatened to tie Arundhati Roy to army jeep
Global Village Space |
Acclaimed Indian novelist Arundhati Roy has recently been subject to much disparagement over a fake news story. Right wing online publications notorious for publishing false content have been publishing a story which claims that Arundhati Roy made anti-Indian statements regarding Kashmir.
The story in question was titled “70 lakh Indian Army cannot defeat Azadi gang in Kashmir: Arundhati Roy.”

This tweet has since been deleted.
He followed up this outburst with scathing insults directed at Roy.

The origins of this fake news story can be traced back to an article published in Times of Islamabad, a Pakistani online publication. It was picked also picked up by Radio Pakistan.
The fact is that Arundhati Roy gave no interview on Kashmir and did not even visit Srinagar any time in the recent past
Following Rawal’s tweets, the BJP distanced itself from his tweets. G.V.L. Narsimha Rao, spokesperson of the party said “Arundhati Roy has been known for anti-India propaganda over Kashmir as she is a compulsive attention seeker. Such people are best ignored rather than being commented upon.”
