Alt News published an article <\/a>titled, “Major Gaurav Arya circulates a fake image as evidence of lathi-charge by West Bengal Police<\/em>” yesterday. In response to that article, OpIndia has now published an article <\/a>titled, “Major Gaurav Arya responds to lies and slander being spread about him<\/em>“. In this article, it has been claimed that that Alt news refused to carry Major Gaurav Arya’s side of the story. In the course of this article, we’ll show how that is a blatant lie.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned OpIndia article states:<\/p>\n

Major Gaurav Arya wrote to the website to present his point of view, but the website didn\u2019t care to respond or carry his side of the story. Perhaps that hints at the intentions and objectives of the website. OpIndia.com was launched to provide spaces to voices that are actively supressed and denied by the mainstream media and their cheerleaders. Hence, we are carrying the response of Major Gaurav Arya.<\/div>\n

Major Gaurav Arya first established communication with Alt News at 4:04 pm on 17-06-2017 via a phone call in which he conferenced his cousin Ankit Sharma who works with Logical Indian and is on my friend’s list on Facebook. Here’s a screenshot of my call log as evidence. Mr Arya’s phone number has been blurred out.<\/p>\n

\"Gaurav<\/p>\n

In the course of this longish phone call, I suggested to Mr Arya that he should clarify his stand. I stated that I would be glad to update the article with his version and share it on social media stating that the article has been updated with his response. \u00a0I further assured Major Gaurav Arya that his version will be carried verbatim on Alt news without a word changed. He had agreed to send me his version and stated that he will be able to send it only late at night or the next day as he was traveling. The entire audio of the phone call can be heard in the following YouTube video.<\/p>\n
