Former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad on Saturday said that Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair disguising himself as a fact-checker is like terrorists talking about peace.
“Haha.. Says a serial hate- monger, who has put so many lives in danger for his agenda. You disguising as a fact-checker is like Terrorists talking about peace,” Prasad said in a post on X quoting Zubair’s post.
“Now post that you need money to survive and ask for donation for your website, no shame in living off by fooling people,” he added.
“His (Zubair) irresponsibility and mischief has put lives in danger and for that he needs to be called out,” the former cricketer said in an another post.
Zubair had posted screenshot of now deleted Prasad’s tweet and said, “Tweet deleted by Venkatesh Prasad”.
Prasad’s now deleted tweet reads, “It takes one corrupt, arrogant guy to take away the hardwork of an organisation that is generally non-corrupt and get a stamp of corruption on the whole leadership, not just on micro-level but at a large level”.
The former cricketer once again raised the issue on Sunday and posted, “It takes one corrupt, arrogant guy to take away the hardwork of an otherwise non-corrupt organisation and spoil the reputation of an entire organisation & the impact isn’t just micro but at a macro level. This is true in every field, be it politics,sports, journalistm, corporate.”
