#mdshami episode is a classic case of social media warfare
Pak intended 3 specific mischiefs-
1⃣ Portray India as Islamophobic society
2⃣ Create sense of fear among Indian minorities
3⃣ Divert attention from Indians chanting Pak anthem & celebrating Pak victory
A thread🧡(1/8)
How did they create this narrative?
Scene 1: Handful of unknown accounts made unwelcome remarks on #Shami (as they did on other players of the team)
(2/8)
Scene 2: Pakistani social media teams picked up the issue (3/8)
Scene 3: Renowned journalists & ministers of Pakistan flared up the issue
πŸ‘‰Listen how Pak Punjab's ex-minister and journalist Mubasher Lucman twists an on-field decision by Indian captian
(clear attempt to give communal colour) (4/8)
Scene 4: Vultures (from India & abroad) hop in to make mountain out of molehill (5/8)
Did they achieve anything?
Well, temporarily they diverted attention from people bursting crackers to celebrate Pak's victory.
The conflict after Pak anthem was chanted at medical college in Srinagar is being portrayed it as an incident of attack on Kashmiris (6/8)
So what is the reality ?
Ans: The abuses were condemned. Many including former greats of the game issued statements in favour of #MohammedShami (7/8)
Common people have also come out in support of #MohammadShami.
I had to scroll for more than a minute to find a single hate comment on @MdShami11's insta profile. (8/8)
