Assam Violence: 20% of hate sites creates by Hindu extremist groups

So it was our own people, not Pakistan- triggering communal tensions in India, the Centre has got inputs that around 20% of provocative web pages — blocked by government agencies — were uploaded by right-wing Hindu groups.

According to agencies involved in scanning internet, several posts had videos of Tibetans' self-immolations in protest against Chinese occupation, but they were captioned as atrocities against

Assamese Hindus by "illegal" migrant Muslims, a report said.

In these posts doctored images or videos showing alleged atrocities against tribal Bodos by Muslims have been tagged with provocative captions and point to extremist Hindu groups trying to fish in troubled waters to target minorities and fan tensions. 

"Several images had been cropped in a way to obliterate the background that could have revealed the actual context of the pictures," said an official. 

Agencies have also found clues indicating a large number of SMSs that spread panic among the northeast Indians living across the country were also generated by fringe Hindu groups. The panic led to a mass exodus of people from the north-east from several cities, including Pune, Bangalore and Chennai. 

A recent input from Bangalore about three women planning to bomb a train turned out to be a red herring. Later, the input was traced to an activist of Bajrang Dal.

Videos allegedly showing unfurling of a Pakistani flag on August 15 in Hyderabad were uploaded questioning the integrity and patriotism of Muslims in the Andhra Pradesh city. The video was found to be that of Pakistan's Hyderabad. VHP's hand was suspected in the incident.
