New Delhi: After a preliminary investigation by Delhi Police into the 'controversial' PowerPoint presentation toolkit shared by Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg, it is being suspected that the document has been created by a pro-Khalistan organization in Canada and was "fed to Greta Thunberg" as a part of a larger conspiracy to create unrest in the country.

It all started after Greta took to Twitter and extended her support to the farmers' protest by sharing a "toolkit for those who want to help". The document contains a plan of action for those who were to join the ongoing farmers' protests - both online and offline. 

The document has also links to tweets that people could use on their social media accounts. As per Greta's tweet, this is the latest version of the document as she deleted her tweet posted earlier calling it to be an outdated document. 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here’s an updated toolkit by people on the ground in India if you want to help. (They removed their previous document as it was outdated.)<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/StandWithFarmers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel='nofollow'>#StandWithFarmers</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FarmersProtest?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel='nofollow'>#FarmersProtest</a><a href="https://t.co/ZGEcMwHUNL" rel='nofollow'>https://t.co/ZGEcMwHUNL</a></p>&mdash; Greta Thunberg (@GretaThunberg) <a href="https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1357054451769606147?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel='nofollow'>February 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I am a Khalistani: Mo Dhaliwal's 'controversial' Facebook post

“I am a Khalistani. You might not know this about me. Why? Because Khalistan is an idea. Khalistan is a living, breathing movement." These are the words of Mo Dhaliwal, who on 17th September 2020, urged people to sign a petition against Ottawa-based public policy think-tank Macdonald-Laurier Institute for publishing a report titled ‘Khalistan: A Project of Pakistan’.

Recently a new video has surfaced on social media where Mo Dhaliwal can be seen speaking about the Khalistani movement and Agri laws reportedly during a protest outside the Indian consulate on 26th January 2021. However, ABP LIVE could not confirm the authenticity of the video. 

"If anybody tells you that this battle is going to end with the repeal of the farm bills, that is because they are trying to drain energy from this movement. They are trying to tell you that you are separate from Punjab, and you are separate from the Khalistan movement. You are not. And at some point, you have to understand the feeling and the emotion that the Khalistan group is bringing to this," he reportedly said in the video.

How Indian govt reacted to the toolkit?

"The deleted post of Greta Thunberg has revealed the real designs of a conspiracy at an international level against India. Need to investigate the parties which are pulling the strings of this evil machinery. Instructions were laid out clearly as to the 'how', 'when' and 'what'. Conspiracies at this scale often get exposed and ultimately it took the hasty tweet of Greta, who with other international celebrities suddenly turned sensitive towards farmers' issues," Union Minister VK Singh wrote in a Facebook post

"It Is only against the creators of the toolkit which is a matter of investigation and Delhi Police will be investigating that case," Praveer Ranjan, Special Commissioner of Police (CP), Delhi Police informed media persons on Thursday.

"Sections in FIR are 124 A IPC-spreading disaffection against Govt of India, 153 A-promoting hatred amongst various communities on social/cultural/religious grounds, same is 153 & 120 B for criminal conspiracy to give shape to such a plan," Praveer Ranjan informed about the charges leveled against the content of the tweet.
