Opindia found that ‘The People’s Forum’ has been organising teach-in sessions, seminars and movie screenings since 2019 to disseminate a distorted idea of Jammu and Kashmir to its global audience.
It has openly called for the secession of the integral part of the Indian territory and extended support to extremist elements, calling for 'Azadi.'

‘The People’s Forum’ reiterated pro-Pakistani talking points about Kashmir, referring to the region as ‘Indian Occupied.’
One of the instructors of the pro-Pakistani indoctrination programme was Hafsa Kanjwal, who had earlier downplayed the Pulwama terror attack in an opinion piece in The Washington Post.

@DisinfoLab Besides her, ‘journalist’ Azad Essa was also included as the instructor for the event.
Essa is the same scribe who passed off the Islamic terrorist organisation, ‘Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT),’ as a ‘Pakistan-based group’ in December 2022.

The Neville Singham-funded organisation also promoted his propaganda film on the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir, titled ‘Out of Sight.’

Hafsa Kanjwal too was invited by ‘The People’s Forum’ to the screening of another propaganda film titled ‘Khoon Diy Baarav’ on March 29, 2019.
The unknown movie was directed by one Iffat Fatima about the supposedly ‘abject plight’ of Kashmiris in the Valley.
Despite all-out efforts by the Neville Roy Singham-financed organisation to spread the word about the film, it failed to make an impact.
As such, another screening of the same propaganda movie was held by ‘The People’s Forum’ on March 20, 2020.

In October 2019, the People's Forum held a seminar on Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and seized the opportunity to attack Hinduism under the pretext of condemning ‘Hindutva’.
It is a classical trope used by Hinduphobes who claim ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Hindutva’ are different. In reality, they do not make any such distinction. Interestingly, the event was co-sponsored by ‘Hindus for Human Rights (HfHR).

@DisinfoLab Remember, HfHR was at the hem of the Hinduphobic event titled, ‘Dismantling Global Hindutva’ conference.
Sunita Vishwanath, the co-founder of ‘Hindus for Human Rights’ had tried to create hysteria and panic about the NRC in 2019.

The People’s Forum had been trying to exploit fault lines between the incumbent Indian government and the farming community in the country.
Amid the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, it conducted a seminar by a Communist party-affiliated Student Federation of India (SFI) leader V Srinivasa Rao.
The event titled ‘Make the land proud: India’s Peasant Struggles and the 2019 Election’ hoped to capitalise on the growing resentment of farmers towards the Modi government and impact the outcome of the polls.
When the Modi government introduced three historic farm laws to alleviate concerns among the farming community, The People’s Forum came out with all guns blazing and lent credence to the politically motivated farmer’s protest and the eventual repeal of the landmark legislation.

@DisinfoLab This became evident when it promoted the propaganda-laden book ‘When Farmers Stood Up’, celebrating the repeal of a law due to the ‘street veto’.
One of the speakers invited to the panel discussion was Aishe Ghosh, who was involved in the infamous JNU riots of 2020.

@DisinfoLab Since early 2020, The People’s Forum began targeting Indian businesses and fostering ant-capitalistic sentiments in the country. A 4-day seminar was organised to this effect in January of that year.

On October 26, 2022, the Neville Roy Singham-led organisation partnered with ‘The Polis Project’ for an anti-India event dubbed ‘Plunder as Politics: Economic Inequality and Political Power in Modi’s India.’
As expected, it targeted Indian businessman Gautam Adani and accused the ruling BJP of ‘crony capitalism.’

‘The People’s Forum’ appeared fascinated with Communist hardliners such as EMS Namboodiripad.
Namboodiripad, who was the first Chief Minister of the State of Kerala, had infamously called #Gandhi a ‘Hindu fundamentalist.’
The People’s Forum’ chose to organise a presentation on his life to further disseminate his “insights on Marxist theory, the international communist movement, caste, women’s struggle, and national liberation.”

‘The People’s Forum’ also endorsed a book on Communist leader Ramchandra Babaji More, who organised the public burning of the Hindu religious text #Manusmriti’ on December 25, 2027 at Mahad city in Raigad district of Maharashtra.
