A Hindu journalist is being targeted by the Kashmiri Islamists for asking simple questions to locals who want to break temples. In a video surfacing online on the social media, a journalist can be seen talking to a man named Mushtaq Lone in Dardpora, Jammu & Kashmir. He claimed to be a supporter of Sheikh Abdul Rashid popularly known as Engineer Rashid who was arrested on terror-funding charges and later secured interim bail.
In the video he can be seen saying, ‘We are Muslims, we read namaz and opening the temple is not right. Humein Puja Path se problem hota hai. (We have issues with Hindu rituals and worship)’. When the journalist said that she didn’t have a problem with loudspeakers in the mosque, he responded that he is a Muslim and he has a problem with temples.
Vice President of JK Youth Society, Yana Mir, tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) ‘A certain Tiwari girl was strutting around in #Kashmir, trying to villify #Kashmiris, make the nation overlook sacrifices of those Kashmiris who laid down their life for the nation, by interviewing a handful of narrow minded people.. What if i go to her city, interview the goons who physically attack Muslims for suspicion of cow lynching, who dont like Muslims residing in their colonies, who dont like Muslims naming their dhabas with Hindu names, who dont like sound of Azaan etc etc.. Does it mean everyone from TIWARILAND is INTOLERANT AND UNSECULAR?”

Wajahat Farooq Bhat,, Human rights activist and chairman of JK Save Youth Save Future, accused Archana of poisoning the minds of innocent people of Kashmir including children. He tweeted on X, ‘Ever since this so-called radical YouTuber arrived in #Kashmir, she has been deliberately poisoning the minds of innocent people of #Kashmir, including children, attempting to turn locals against India and the Hindu religion. She is no different from the radical anti-India groups inciting unrest and promoting communal violence in Kashmir. Her agenda is clear — She has no interest in promoting peace in the Valley. I urge the Hon’ble @OfficeOfLGJandK Shri @manojsinha_ Ji and @JmuKmrPolice to take immediate action against her and her malicious propaganda. There is no doubt that she is backed by some Anti-India outfit to create chaos and bloodshed in Kashmir. She must be stopped before she succeeds in her sinister mission.” He also tagged Home Ministry, Kashmir Police and Election commission in his post.
Yasmeen Khan, who writes for Awaz The Voice, Salaam TV, Muslim Mirror and Greater Kashmir, tweeted on X, ‘There is a disturbing practice happening in Kashmir where a YouTuber is approaching innocent, less educated individuals in the streets asking them their views on sensitive topics like mandir, masjid and liquor. This unethical behavior exploits their lack of understanding about the larger narrative in the country putting our fellow Kashmiris at risk. I urge @SrinagarPolice to take action against such individuals and protect our community from this hazard’.
However, she is not the first journalist to be targeted for having a different opinion from the left-liberal ecosystem.
