On February 4, 2018, Alt News had exposed how a list of more than 100 couples who had entered into inter-religious union was published on a Facebook page, and these couples were specifically targeted for violent assault. A page called Hindutva Varta<\/em>\u00a0had openly called for violence against these couples by putting out links to their Facebook profiles as a list in the public domain. Alt News had identified<\/a> the admin of the page to be one Satish Mylavarapu. Facebook took down his page<\/a> which called for violence, and three months after the story, his account was suspended by Twitter. Shockingly, he is now back on the social media platform.<\/p>\n

Journalist Barkha Dutt on June 7, 2018 tweeted claiming that she has “received chilling veiled threats and ‘messages’ from powerful people in the Establishment today that my family and I are under surveillance…”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Received chilling veiled threats and “messages” from powerful people in the Establishment today that my family and I are under surveillance – and that I will be smeared & maligned to stop me from starting any new projects. Was advised to get my house debugged. Is this my country?<\/p>\n

In response to Barkha Dutt’s tweet, a user @SatishAnna2<\/em> tweeted,<\/p>\n

\n

Just plain threats??? What kind of morons are there in establishment?? They should have gone into action mode of disappearing you… No one needs you in this country… we are fed up of your lies and narratives<\/p>\n

\u2014 Satish Anna (@SatishAnna2) June 7, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@SatishAnna2<\/em> is the twitter handle of none other than Satish Mylavarapu. He did not stop there. When Dutt responded calling it a death threat and saying she will tag Delhi police for this comment, he replied, “It’s weakness of Modi government you and your fraternity is still alive…”<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

It’s weakness of Modi government that you and your fraternity is alive…<\/p>\n

Mylavarapu kept up his tirade against Barkha Dutt, tweeting her photo and saying that leftist journalists make a lot of noise over false reports that defame Hindus.<\/p>\n

Account suspended twice by Twitter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mylavarapu’s account has been suspended not once but twice earlier by Twitter, after his brazenly abusive and openly threatening posts came to light. Three months after Alt News had reported how he was openly calling for violence against inter-faith couples, his account @satsmylavarapu<\/em> was suspended.<\/p>\n

\n

Twitter account of @satsmylavarapu<\/a>, who pushed out a list of 100+ interfaith couples on his FB page ‘Hindu Varta’ and called for violence, has finally been suspended. He shared this image in a BJP Karnataka WhatsApp group.<\/p>\n

However, Mylavarapu was back within a few hours with a fresh account @satismk<\/em>. Interestingly, this account was almost instantly followed by BJP MP Udit Raj, among others. This account too was suspended by Twitter after users reported it.<\/p>\n

\n

This person who had advocated violence against 100+ inter-faith couples and was suspended by Twitter has created a new account @satismk<\/a> and gets instantly followed by BJP MP @Dr_Uditraj<\/a>. How does that work?<\/p>\n

Mylavarapu who is based in Bengaluru made international news when he published the list targeting inter-faith couples on his Facebook page. The hate-mongering on display was reported by the Washington Post<\/em><\/a> and the UK based publication The Independent<\/em><\/a>. Posted below is an excerpt of the article by The Independent<\/em> which was published in April, 2018.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Satish Mylavarapu has repeatedly posted sinister messages on social media, openly advocating violence against minorities and often directly or indirectly threatening social media users with dire consequences. The fact that his account was suspended twice earlier has not crippled him. He is now back with a new account, thus rendering toothless the measures taken by Twitter to prevent him\u00a0from spewing venom on social media with impunity. It is appalling that despite the open nature of this intimidation and abuse, no action has been taken against him so far by the Karnataka police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
