All-in-all commentator Sumanth Raman is back in the news. This time he targets journalist and anchor Palki Sharma. A video of Palki Sharma has been making the rounds for quite some time now. In the video, she speaks about the Mahabharatha where she pinpoints the Pandavas for doing the wrong things and still remained the good guys in the end. While Palki Sharma may have a skewed opinion/understanding of the Mahabharatha, the focus of this video is on Sumanth Raman. He quoted the video and wrote, “This lady’s videos are taken as gospel truth on Whatsapp Groups“

But why is he quoting Palki’s videos now? A couple of days ago, a 13-minute video of Palki Sharma speaking at Oxford Union went viral. This speech was given by Palki about a year back. In the video, Palki spoke about how India had developed and progressed under the Narendra Modi government and she gave a few anecdotes as examples to support her arguments.
“My remarks at the Oxford Union almost a yr ago have made their way across social media. I gave a perspective on what has changed in India, citing events & anecdotes to support my argument. I’m overwhelmed to see how it has resonated with so many of you.“

Prime Minister Narendra Modi quoted the post and wrote, “You have given a wonderful glimpse of the massive transformations taking place across India, @palkisu!”

Instead of countering her with facts, Sumanth Raman whose now-favourite app “WhatsApp” seems to be featured in every post he makes, derides Palki for that Mahabharatha video clip by calling her “this lady” and accuses her videos of making the rounds on WhatsApp.
Ironically, he speaks about gospel truth because the videos and information he shares on social media platform X are from the very same propaganda peddlers such as Dhruv Rathee.
He shared a 2-minute video of Rathee where he talks about how WhatsApp was being used by political parties (indicating the BJP) to “brainwash” the masses. Sumanth wrote, “Summary of the last decade in 2 minutes. Watch.”

It is quite clear how the likes of Rathee and the leftists have been using portals such as YouTube to spread misinformation and hoodwink the public. It is also noteworthy that Rathee himself has started a WhatsApp channel and was trending the hashtag #Mission100Crore to “save” Bharat Mata.
We will bring a Tsunami that will destroy the whole IT Cell
1 Crore Indians x Forwarding to 100 people daily = 100 Crore WhatsApp Messages Every Single Day
This is #Mission100Crore
We will save our Bharat Mata.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🙏— Dhruv Rathee (@dhruv_rathee) April 23, 2024
Maybe Sumanth Raman can spend time reading and updating himself rather than wasting time on WhatsApp reading propaganda posts of Rathee.
