Man Who Picked Up Tricolour From Ground In London Defying Khalistanis Claims Facing Hate Campaign; Read On

Satyam Surana, an Indian student who gained attention for his act of courage in picking up the tricolour from the road amidst an attack on the Indian High Commission in the United Kingdom by extremist elements last year, is now facing allegations of hate and smear campaigns during the student union elections at the London School of Economics. Satyam has raised concerns about a ‘well-planned’ campaign that emerged just 12 hours before the voting, attempting to associate him with the Bharatiya Janata Party and labeling him as a ‘fascist’ in an effort to sabotage his campaign.

Hailing from Pune, Satyam had previously practiced at the Bombay High Court and is currently pursuing an LLM at the London School of Economics, expected to complete his course later this year. The controversy arose when radical elements took screenshots of Satyam’s social media posts, particularly where he had expressed admiration for the BJP government. However, these posts were twisted and used to portray him in a negative light as a ‘fascist’.

Despite his genuine intentions, Satyam found himself at the center of a targeted misinformation campaign that aimed to tarnish his reputation and undermine his candidacy.
