Pakistan main force behind ‘Khalistani movement’; Twitter bot army in spotlight

Amid the ongoing uproar and fizzling out of the separatist Khalistan movement in India and other parts of world, Network Contagion Research Institute exposed Pakistan’s involvement in fuelling violence across globe. As per report published by NCRI, pro-Khalistani elements are using Twitter bots to carry out anti-India propaganda on social media platforms. According to a Washington Post article, proponents of separatist ideology are using Twitter accounts to trend, which promote violence and seek action against the government. This comes amid the ongoing manhunt against radical Khalistani preacher Amritpal Singh and his subordinates. While ‘fugitive’ Amritpal Singh remains on the run, protesters have vandalised Indian consulates in parts of the world.
