Environmental activist Greta Thunberg tweeted an anti-India plan toolkit in support of the farmers’ agitation that has been going on for nearly two months in the country’s capital Delhi against the new agricultural laws. Indian environmental activist Disha Ravi then asked the Swedish activist to delete the tweet for fear of action under the strict law UAPA as Disha was also named in that toolkit. In the toolkit case, police gave this information on Monday.
The Delhi Police claimed that Greta Thunberg allegedly deleted the tweet following a direction request. Later shared an edited version of the toolkit. Meanwhile, the police also claimed that the toolkit was edited by 22-year-old Disha.
Police sources said Disha wrote to Thanberg on WhatsApp, “Well, is it possible that you don’t tweet the toolkit completely? Can we stop for a while?
The Delhi Police claimed that Disha had allegedly made the request under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for fear of a case being registered.
A senior police official said the revelation came during an investigation into a WhatsApp chat between Thanberg and Disha Ravi. The chat revealed that Disha had requested Greta Thunberg to delete the tweet as the “Toolkit” document contained her name.
Responding to questions related to the toolkit document during a press conference at Delhi Police Headquarters, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Cyber Cell) Alisha Roy said, “This is not a static” document. It is a dynamic document, with a large number of hyperlinks, links to various Google Drive, Google Docs and websites . This website has a lot of pro-Khalistani content. So this document is in itself an action plan. “
Let us tell that Thanberg had shared an anti-India document (toolkit) while giving his support to the peasant movement. The document listed several plans to tarnish India’s image, including creating a ‘Twitter Storm’ and staging protests outside the Indian embassies to support farmers’ protests.
