And it was effective...
Most Indians who put tricolour after #HarGharTiranga campaign on their houses and cars were forced to remove it. Several such instances of violence against Indians were reported, orchestrated by the Pak groups & Islamist mobs in #Leicestershire.

Who was behind it?
The handle @Majstar7 was proactive throughout the incident & played a key role in giving it communal touch to cause unrest where Indians were targeted.
Going through his tweets, we found how #Pakistanis were constantly amplifying his agenda.

The SOP deployed was successful into harassment campaign by Pak & Islamist groups to silence the Indians living abroad. With the aid of staged #Fakenews on social media, all that was required was to continue hammering the communal perspective.
