evidence: The latest example is a tweet by Madhu Kishwar, editor of the journal, Manushi. Her tweet read: "DMK manifesto Page 112...People occupying encroached temple lands will be regularised and ownership transferred. Page 85...Encroached Waqf properties will be reclaimed and handed over to Wakf." After reading this tweet, those who are aligned with the ruling party at the Centre called and asked us why The Hindu has been silent on these crucial issues. The problem does not lie with The Hindu because the DMK manifesto was only 76 pages and was widely circulated both in English and Tamil. Can a newspaper buy such disinformation from a partisan social media activist at the cost of truth? Contrary to Ms. Kishwar’s religiously polarising politics, the DMK’s manifesto talks about functioning without prejudice towards any religion in the country. When I explained this, some of Ms. Kishwar’s apologists tried to invoke the DMK’s 2016 manifesto for the Legislative Assembly elections to justify her outlandish claims. But a reading of the 2016 manifesto of the party does not reveal any preferential treatment for any religion. It talks about the party’s commitment to protect the assets belonging to various places of worship irrespective of the religion.
