He further said, “As I said, the grassroots reality that common Muslims face is different from what the government tried to show but at the same time the press conference shows that an India, united in its diversity, is not completely dead as an idea”.Many netizens, including Akhilesh Mishra, CEO of BlueKraft Digital Foundation, criticised Ali Khan, calling him a man “indulged in insidious propaganda” and accused him of echoing Pakistan’s talking points during a time of near-conflict.“It was a treacherous attempt to insert a Hindu-Muslim rift just a day after the Operation Sindoor strikes and while Pakistan was still sending drones into India. Whose agenda was it serving other than Pakistan,” Mishra wrote in a post.BJP IT cell national head Amit Malviya also reposted Mishra’s post on Ali. Taking further aim at Ali for raising local issues such as lynching, Mishra questioned, “If local law and order issues are relevant in a discussion on Pakistan, then why is the Murshidabad mass violence against Hindus in West Bengal not relevant? In fact, it is the most recent case of communal lynching.”One netizen, Sanjeev Shukla, responded to Mishra’s post by alleging that Ali Khan was being backed by “pseudo-intellectuals and the Pariwarvadi party”. Several BJP supporters and sources also criticised Khan, saying his post sent a wrong message at a time when India was facing a near-war-like situation due to Pakistan-backed terrorism.
