The toolkit that was tweeted and then deleted by environmental activist Greta Thunberg, to show her support for the ongoing farmers’ protest in India was allegedly “fed to her” and was put together by a Canada-based pro-Khalistan organisation to create disharmony, according to a report by TOI.
TOI report quoted senior government sources as saying that the kit, aimed at damaging India's interests, was prepared by ‘Poetic Justice Foundation’, a body co-founded by a self-declared Khalistan supporter Mo Dhaliwal who is based in Vancouver, Canada.
The PowerPoint presentation detailed the list of tasks aimed against India. Some of the heads mentioned in the toolkit were "disrupt 'yoga and chai' image of India in general", "unified global disruption in the diaspora on January 26" and "repeal of farm laws", a senior government told TOI on the condition of anonymity.

"The documents shared mistakenly by Greta shows how tweets by Rihanna and others weren't organic and were part of a larger campaign to malign India. This makes it important to see all such statements/tweets by important people in India and abroad in the context of the planned and pre-scripted campaign,he added.
The toolkit, with 'Will you be part of the largest protest in human history?' as the headline on its cover, has taglines like '#AskIndiaWhy' and 'Global Farmers Strike - First Wave'. The strap on the page reads, "To stand up against India's failing democracy (at the behest of the fascist ruling party, RSS-BJP)" and "To stand up against unregulated corporatization of the farming sector".
Delhi Police, to further investigate the case, is going to take Google’s help to trace the IP address of the authors who uploaded the toolkit on the ongoing farmers’ protest in the national capital.
The Delhi Police said that more than 300 social media accounts, which were seen spreading malicious content on farmers’ protest, have been identified. The role of the Poetic Justice Foundation involved in a massive campaign against India`s farm laws is under the scanner.

Meanwhile, Union minister V K Singh claimed in a Facebook post that Thunberg's deleted tweet had revealed the real designs of a conspiracy at an international level against India. 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
An official told TOI that the toolkit also had a plan to carry forward the “malign India campaign” even if the government repealed the laws. “This shows how sinister the entire campaign was,” he added.
The campaigners had suggested to observe “global action day” on January 26, with a unified, consistent message that could be easily repeated by the mainstream media and the general public. “The messages should be ‘evergreen’ so that they focus on protests, but stay relevant even if the laws are repealed,” it suggested.
