WTF is this..The Quint should be banned immediately. This story by Quint can lead to KJ being killed..........
The Quint should be ashamed of itself
‘The Quint’ today had the temerity to publish an article that could have been easily published in any leading Pakistani newspaper with their reigns in the hands of ISI.
What Pakistan tried to prove with deceit, The Quint has put into words and attributed it to highly placed RAW sources. It published an article not so long ago today, detailing how their sources have confirmed that Kulbhushan Jadhav is an Indian spy, something the Indian Government and the RAW have actively and vehemently denied.
At the onset itself, the author, Chandan Nandy, not only declared that Kulbhushan Jadhav is an Indian Spy, but that he was a sub par spy used as a source for “deep penetration” in Pakistan. It bodes well to remind here that an ex ISI officer already admitted that India’s stand regarding Jadhav being abducted from Iran and not Balochistan is correct. Calling him a spy is going against the truth and endangering not only his, but India’s security. Calling him a “BAD spy” is psyops 101 where you not only prove that the enemy nation is a liar, but prove that their entire intelligence network is a sham. Begs an important question – Whose side is The Quint on?
Next, the author proceeds to prove ‘proof’.
According to The Quint and the author, the clearest evidence of Jadhav being an ‘Indian Spy’ came to light after Pakistan abducted him. I’m not aware of the parallel planet that the author seems to live in, but might I remind him that even Pakistan doesn’t take Pakistan seriously, and he is, considering Pakistan’s word as the gospel truth against his own nations version of truth.
Perhaps I can try to give the author a basic lesson in counter intelligence. A SPY WOULDN’T TRAVEL INTO ENEMY TERRITORY WITH HIS INDIAN IDENTITY PROOF! At this point, it is needless to go into details of the case since malice can’t be countered with facts. But even propaganda must be one at least backed with basic logic, which this piece clearly lacks.
Next, the author talks about how and from where Jadhav was captured.
Here is where the deceit gets worse. Pakistan army claimed that Jadhav was captured while he supposedly crossed over from the Saravan border into Pakistan. And according to Quint, a “Baloch leader” called Sarfaraz Bugti disclosed that Jadhav was held near Chaman in Balochistan. Firstly, Saravan border is the Iran-Balochistan border. The “Baloch Leader” that the author talks about Balochistan’s Home Minister who obviously answers to Islamabad. What is most intriguing is how Quint considers Pakistan’s version as the gospel truth without mentioning that days later, ex ISI officer confirmed that Jadhav was indeed abducted from Iran and not Balochistan province. Quint also ignores India’s version which was that he was in Iran and not in Balochistan. Again, whose side is The Quint on?
Next, The Quint reveals what this article was really meant to do.
The crux of the matter according to The Quint : Jadhav wasn’t abducted, he was captured. Jadhav was ‘captured’ because the Indian Spy didn’t know how to do his job. The Indian spy was unprofessional. The Indian spy was a novice. In essence, the Indian Intelligence agencies are trash and don’t know how to do their job. It might seem like I am paraphrasing some deranged ISI operative, but strangely, I’m only inferring what The Quint seems to implying, that is, Pakistan is innocent.
At this point, I would suggest the reader sits down, because the rage might be a little difficult to handle.
Let me paraphrase what the above excerpt says : Jadhav was not sound in statecraft. The RAW was stupid to hire him (considering Quint has already declared that he is a spy, in tandem with Pakistan) and that India would have been better off had she hired the far superior Baloch or Pakistani nationals to gather information.
This isn’t even the worst part. This mysterious source that seems to be vomiting all sorts of rubbish, says, and I quote from the article, “his incarceration and the ambiguity surrounding his “work” does “have a lot of benefits”.
Let me say that again : The mysterious source says, and the author writes, that Jadhav’s incarceration has a lot of benefits. Well, pardon me if I don’t join the party that seems to be taking place at The Quint’s office celebrating Kulbhushan Jadhav’s incarnation.
Next, the mysterious source through the author has a nugget of wisdom for Indian Intelligence agencies.
Mr Ajit Doval certainly needs to pay heed to this fantastic advice. Please don’t send spies to hostile nations. Send spies to friendly ones. Maybe to get this author some scotch?
Next, the mysterious source has an intriguing question.
I would like to send a message to this ‘anonymous source’ through the author of this article, Mr. Nandy. The Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi once declared our foreign policy objective from the ramparts of Lal Quilla. Balochistan deserves justice. And we are to believe, that this rambling was the brain wave of some former RAW chief? Because a RAW chief would ask such juvenile questions? Sure!
I am reminded of another article I wrote a while ago about fifth column warfare that is being waged by Pakistan in India. A Pakistan Senate report specifically said that Indian conversation around Balochistan needs to be thwarted. Of course, someone who would take Pakistan’s word as the gospel truth would certainly also wonder what might India’s foreign policy objective be in Balochistan.
The Quint is a habitual offender. Mr. Nandy was the author who wrote about the supposed surgical strike before the Indian Army came out with the details thereby potentially jeopardising the lives of the soldiers. A journalist of The Quint was being investigated under Official Secrets Act owing to a sting operation that drove a jawan to committing suicide. And now, The Quint has come out, all guns blazing, to exonerate Pakistan, denigrate India and tell the nation to be happy about Jadhav’s incarceration.
One wonders, when does this cycle of media deceit end? When does the media take responsibility for their actions? And one also wonders, if the authorities would take any action against this article, the portal and the author for this brazen article that potentially harms India’s diplomatic stand and Jadhav’s life.

Quint should be booked under OSA. Those schmucks should never see the light of the day. National Security and Strategic Interests are much more important than Political correctness.

Here's what happened.....
Jadhav was kidnapped by Mullah Omar Irani of Jaish-ul-Adl from Sarbaz city
According to sources in Indian security establishment, Kulbhushan Jadhav was kidnapped by Mullah Omar Irani of Jaish-ul-Adl from Sarbaz city, around 52km from Chabahar. Irani then handed over Jadhav to the Pakistan Army.
The kidnapper, Mullah Omar Irani of Jaish-ul-Adl
Kulbhushan Jadhav was kidnapped from near Chabahar port in Iran by Jaish-ul-Adl, a terror outfit which allegedly has close links with the Pakistan Army.
This revelation punches holes in Pakistan’s stand that Jadhav is an Indian spy.
According to sources in Indian security establishment, Jadhav was kidnapped by Mullah Omar Irani of Jaish-ul-Adl from Sarbaz city, around 52km from Chabahar. Irani then handed over Jadhav to the Pakistan Army.
Jaish-ul-Adl is believed to be fighting against Baloch insurgents along with the Pakistan Army and commanders of the terror outfit visit Islamabad frequently.
The sources added that Jaish-ul-Adl collects money from Pakistan’s embassies in Iran and Bahrain. The terrorist organisation works closely with Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Khurasan.

Well, we knew it all along that this was stage managed by the Paki Army, the ISI and terror groups spawned by them. But the question is how is this evidence going to be proved in a court of law? The Pakis will never allow that.

Who's the bloody editor of this tabloid, The Quint? Must be some Lefty or a turd from the pseudo secular brigade. The Porkis are going to town with this nonsense. Jeeez! This anti national moron should be hung by his withering balls.

REPORTS
Pakistan’s official agencies start quoting Quint’s article for their propaganda against Kulbhushan Jadhav

On Friday, ‘Indian publication’ named The Quint, decided to tout the Pakistani narrative when it proclaimed Kulbhushan Jadhav is an Indian spy. The article which has been comprehensively debunked, resulted in outrage among the Indian masses. Following this outrage, Quint was forced to take down its article, by claiming that it was being ‘rechecked’.
One of the major concerns after the Quint story came out was that, Pakistan might start quoting it as a proof, in order to claim that Jadhav is an Indian spy, thereby deliberately endangering his life.
This sadly is what has started to happen as various cogs of the Pakistani establishment have begun quoting the Quint article to further their agenda.
One of the first to quote Quint was PTV World which is part of Pakistan’s state television broadcast:
At 1700 hrs on 5th January Indian publication @TheQuint published a story by Mr Changan Nandy who said that two ex-RAW Chiefs confided in him that it was “absurd” on the part of current RAW setup to recruit Kulbhushan Jadav for intelligence deep inside Pakistan
— PTV World (@WorldPTV) January 6, 2018
PTV was apparently so excited about the Quint story, that it even retweeted our article debunking the Quint story they wanted to peddle and calling them a terrorist nation:
It also quoted the author of the OpIndia article debunking Quint’s story and alleged that the “Indian Journalist” claims that Pakistan’s stand has been exonerated. Owing to lack of comprehension skills displayed by PTV World, the author has offered to get her article translated to a language that most Pakistanis must be learning now – Chinese.
PTV World also put up screenshots of the Quint’s tweet, to further drill home the allegation that Jadhav was a spy.
Later, a Pakistani journalist who works for Express News, decided to highlight the fact that the Quint was retracting its Kulbhushan Jadhav story.
All this was taken to the next level by the official twitter account of the Pakistan government, which is part of their Ministry of Information Broadcasting, by tweeting this:
Indian paper ‘The Quint’ had in one of its stories accepted the truth that Kulbhushan Jadhav was a spy and that some RAW officials had reservations about his appointment.
~Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr. Muhammad Faisal pic.twitter.com/EBPqLwGwvP
— Govt of Pakistan (@pid_gov) January 6, 2018
Apart from this, it also decided to spread a rumour that the author of the Quint article is now missing, thereby hinting at the possibility of a foul play:
Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr. Muhammad Faisal says Indian Government has got removed news storytelling truth about convicted spy Kulbhushan Jadhav from a newspaper.
The journalist reporting the story has also gone missing and is untraceable for his family and friends since then pic.twitter.com/a6vNMUMJ4C
— Govt of Pakistan (@pid_gov) January 6, 2018
This lie though was busted by an Indian journalist, who called up the author, who is doing fine but refused to comment about the story.
Indians predictably were angered at this behaviour of Pakistani agencies and decided to react:
Pakistan is winning the war.

Congratulations @TheQuint for being recognised by your government. https://t.co/mTwIpfeyqd

We thank god for these small mercies, otherwise we had to write dialogues for Jadhav every now and then! https://t.co/5dzBqdLEFR
— Naila Inayat (@nailainayat) January 6, 2018
It remains to be seen as to what action the Indian government takes against The Quint. Already, the clamour for punishment is growing, with BJP spokesperson Tajinder Bagga writing to IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad demanding action against the publication.

I said it before, while the right was masturbating over a perceived advantage in non-traditional media/ social networks post 2014, the left was cultivating an infrastructure of censorship and propaganda similar to the one they had a monopoly over a few years back.
The Quint is just a single node. I can count at least 5 equally vile websites off the top of my head, not to mention the usual suspects in the entertainment industry and the socially aware "comedians" on Youtube.
The Quint is the same news portal which conducted that sting operation on a Lance Naik that led to his suicide. Then, called kids celebrating Holi "terrorists" and followed up with a story on how Osama was a great husband and a father.
No one is going to hang for this, they have retracted the story (read shoot and scoot). Angry righties are chimping out on Twitter with idiotic hashtags and this hit-job has achieved all of its primary targets. Now, they are just waiting for the government to for a slap on the wrist to placate their myopic followers. The rudali brigade is ready for the administration to shoot itself in the foot and lose the perception war as well.

The Quint: We are a bunch of Presstitutes.
And why not Ex NDTV Burkha Dutt is a regular of this News Portal whose shady Kargil reporting is still to be investigated. Well done "The Quint" what's its masters in Pakistan must be sying.
Do the damage and play innocent. Classic hit and run tactic.
