Maligning Dharmasthala: A Deliberate Attempt To Tarnish A Sacred Legacy Through Misinformation [Video]

Maligning Dharmasthala: A Deliberate Attempt To Tarnish A Sacred Legacy Through Misinformation

Dharmasthala has stood as a beacon of faith, service, and justice in Karnataka. Today, this revered institution faces an orchestrated smear campaign built on baseless allegations and digital-era misinformation. The so-called ‘Ananya Bhat’ case — with no student records, no police files, and no credible witnesses — has been amplified by individuals with long-standing disputes against Dharmasthala’s administration. In reality, this is not a pursuit of truth but a calculated attempt to erode public trust in one of India’s most respected places of worship. #FabricatedLiesCampaign #TruthVsLies #AnanyaBhatCase #DharmasthalaTruth #FakeNewsExposed ~HT.178~GR.124~PR.152~ED.420~

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves [Video]

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations. #Iran #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #FascistIntent #MiddleEast #Palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #UNCharter #OIC #ArabUnity #MuslimUnity #StopGenocide #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Occupation #RegionalSecurity #EndApartheid #GlobalCondemnation ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.103~
