Executive Summary:
This dossier consolidates open-source evidence and whistleblower testimony regarding the transnational digital operations of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), its overseas chapters (OFBJP), and affiliated media ecosystems. It highlights coordinated social media amplification, hashtag hijacking, and selective enforcement failures involving Facebook, with a focus on their impact on European audiences and information integrity.
Section 1: OFBJP Overseas Infrastructure:
1.1 Official Presence and Mission
Source: BJP Press Release:
Summary: The BJP confirms the existence of Overseas Friends of BJP (OFBJP) chapters in the USA, UK, and Canada. These units are tasked with projecting a "positive and correct image" of India and the BJP abroad, countering perceived distortions, and engaging in diaspora outreach through emails, press releases, public events, and ethnic media advertising.
1.2 OFBJP UK Leadership and Media Reach:
Source: OFBJP UK – About
Key Details: Kuldeep Shekhawat, president since 2018, has a background in international broadcasting (Zee TV, Sony TV, MATV UK, Swagat TV USA). This media infrastructure enables cross-platform amplification and diaspora mobilization in the UK.
Section 2: Digital Amplification and Hashtag Hijacking
2.1 Instagram Reel Case Study
Source: Instagram Reel
Indicators to Extract: Hashtags, geotags, mentions, posting time, and cross-posting behavior. These elements help assess whether the content targets European audiences or synchronizes with OFBJP messaging.
2.2 Facebook Hashtag Hijacking
Example: Zee News post dated October 29, tagged #RussiaUkraineWar, featuring a sensationalist story about blue dogs in Chernobyl.
Indicators:
Misuse of conflict-related hashtags for unrelated content.
Saturation of war-related feeds with infotainment.
Reduction of visibility for verified conflict reporting.
Section 3: Whistleblower Testimony – Sophie Zhang
3.1 Facebook Manipulation and Selective Enforcement
Source: Reddit AMA and internal memo screenshots.
Summary: Sophie Zhang, former Facebook data scientist, documented five coordinated networks of fake accounts in India (2 pro-BJP, 2 pro-Congress, 1 pro-AAP). Facebook approved takedown of all, but halted action when one network was linked to MP Vinod Kumar Sonkar (BJP-Kaushambi), Chair of the Lok Sabha Ethics Committee.
3.2 Political Protection and Platform Bias
Key Points:
Facebook India Policy Director allegedly approved rapid takedown of Congress-linked accounts.
No action taken against BJP-linked accounts tied to Sonkar.
Raises concerns about asymmetric enforcement and political shielding.
Section 4: Media Ecosystem and Anti-European Narratives
4.1 Firstpost/Vantage with Palki Sharma
Pattern: Repeated framing of Europe as weak, divided, or hypocritical in global affairs.
Platform Reach: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X.
4.2 Republic TV and Arnab Goswami
Pattern: Polarizing debates, disinformation incidents, and amplification of nationalist narratives.
Notable Incident: BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya involved in spreading doctored clips.
4.3 Adani/Ambani Media Assets
Observation: Pages and campaigns linked to conglomerates show coordinated posting and high engagement on Facebook, often pushing pro-BJP content.
Section 5: Attribution and Operational Indicators
5.1 Attribution Levels
Weak: Slogan reuse, diaspora engagement, time zone alignment.
Moderate: Cross-platform synchronization, identical creative assets.
Strong: Paid ads targeting EU/UK audiences, domain registration in Europe, admin links to OFBJP chapters.
5.2 Technical Indicators
WHOIS and DNS records.
Meta Ad Library entries.
Companies House (UK) registrations.
Telegram/WhatsApp forwarding chains.
Section 6: Countermeasures and Resilience Protocols
6.1 Archival and Reporting
Screenshot with timestamp.
URL and post ID.
Hashing of media files.
6.2 Platform Actions
Flagging for misinformation or hashtag hijacking.
Coordinated counter-posting with verified media.
6.3 Strategic Publishing
Use of less saturated hashtags.
Keyword repetition for indexing.
Amplification via trusted allies (e.g., Linkiesta, war reporters).
Conclusion
The BJP’s overseas digital infrastructure, combined with selective platform enforcement and coordinated media ecosystems, constitutes a transnational influence network with measurable impact on European information flows. This dossier provides a framework for monitoring, documenting, and countering such operations through forensic archiving, attribution mapping, and strategic publishing.
