BBCInfluencers like Ranting Gola (left) and Sham Sharma are using their social media presence to promote political parties

Just weeks before the first ballot was cast in this year’s Indian election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was at an event in Delhi rubbing shoulders with people known by names like BeerBiceps and Curly Tales.

The event – an awards show, congratulating some of the country’s top social media stars on their work – was an acknowledgement of the power of the influencer which a few years ago may have seemed unimaginable.

And as politicians prepared to battle it out for India’s billion votes, these influencers were being lined up to play a crucial role in reaching the young, the disinterested and the disillusioned.

But even as some celebrate social media’s democratisation of the media – a place where any one can share their views freely – others paint a darker picture, one where threats are rife, and the truth can be set aside for the right pay cheque.

A decade ago, you would have struggled to find anyone calling themselves an “influencer”.

But now, says Vinay Deshpande, co-founder of Rajneethi, a political management consultant firm, “it’s become a profession”.

“I know teenagers who are doing this part-time to earn pocket money.”

Pocket money underplays the earning potential somewhat, however. At the lower end, people can charge around 2,000 rupees ($24; £19) a day, but top influencers can pull in about 500,000 rupees for a post – equivalent to the monthly salary of someone in top-level management.

The creator of the Ranting Gola channel revealed to the BBC that political parties and election management firms have offered as much as “100,000 to 500,000 rupees for a single campaign”.

It is no small amount – but then, it could turn the tide in a candidate’s favour.

Mr Deshpande says they have helped an opposition candidate win an assembly election by pushing out content through a curated list of local influencers with a small but active following.

“Social media content is powerful and can influence the way a person feels about an issue,” Mr Deshpande says. “It gives social currency to a belief or opinion – but this can lead to a lack of critical thinking about an issue,” he adds.

Preethi Aggarwal, 25, is one of those who turns to apps like Instagram, YouTube and Twitter to help her understand the news.

Like thousands of others, Ms Aggarwal follows a bunch of “political influencers”, or people who talk about politics on social media to “really understand what’s going on”.

“News can get boring and complicated sometimes. I think these people [influencers] make it fun and easier to understand,” she says, adding the context and their own perspective help her form her opinions.

But the problem is, whose perspective is she getting?

YouTuber Samdish Bhatia reveals numerous politicians have reached out to him, especially in the months before this election, offering him millions of rupees to interview them.

“But they wanted me to share questions in advance or get the video approved before it’s published,” he says, adding that he declined the offers because he “likes to maintain editorial control”.

The particular trend for longer form, slightly chummy interviews – where politicians get to show off their human side – is particularly vulnerable to management, says Joyojeet Pal, an associate professor at the University of Michigan.

“Many of these interviews are carefully managed by politicians,” Mr Pal says.

But even if they aren’t, a gentler style of questioning can also blur the line between interview and promotion, says Mr Pal.

“If your questions aren’t holding power to account, then the interview just becomes a platform for easy publicity.”

But for Mr Pal, this is just one of the problems he sees with politics on social media.

In a recent research paper, he examined some of India’s top influencers and who they interviewed, finding BJP leaders were featured more often than opposition leaders.

His research also found an overall drop in the number of accounts posting content critical of the incumbent government in recent years, while the amount of pro-BJP content had increased.

“This hints at a growing hesitancy among people to be openly critical of the government whereas there seems to be more confidence in putting up polarising content or content that supports the government’s ideologies,” Mr Pal says.

“And this is dangerous for democracy,” he adds.

Influencers supporting the opposition certainly suggested they were working in a hostile environment.

A number who post content that’s critical of the government declined to speak to the BBC for this piece citing fear of repercussions by the government. They also run their channels under pseudonyms to keep their identities secret.

The Ranting Gola told the BBC that she has often received comments that are abusive or threatening because of the videos she posts and that her Instagram account has been disabled numerous times, even though the platform hasn’t given her a clear reason for doing so.

She also only spoke to the BBC on the condition that her name not be revealed.

The BJP government has denied allegations that it has clamped down on dissent and free speech.

But even pro-BJP YouTuber Sham Sharma told the BBC that freedom of speech could be a problem in India:

0:52YouTuber Sham Sharma talks about the positives and perils of sharing his views online.

But even given these concerns, opposition parties are using the same influencer system to reach voters in what they say is a difficult environment.

“The mainstream media has been taken over by the BJP,” alleges Supriya Srinate, who heads social media for the Congress party.

“Our funds have been frozen; we have no money to advertise,” she adds, referring to action taken by India’s tax department weeks before the elections. Congress leaders have accused the government of political vendetta, but the government has denied the allegation and said that the federal department was doing its job independently.

Influencers, Ms Srinate argues, are a good way to reach voters as a result of these alleged hurdles, explaining the Congress has been working with “volunteers” who believe in the party’s ideology and want to share its work on social media.

Ankit Lal, former political advisor of the opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), agrees that influencers have helped democratise the publicity landscape.

Akash Banerjee, a former journalist who runs the YouTube channel, The DeshBhakt, argues that influencers are also able to push boundaries more than the traditional media can.

He cites the video ‘Is India becoming a dictatorship?’ – made by popular content creator Dhruv Rathee, who is based in Germany – which takes on the government directly, and has been viewed about 24 million times on YouTube so far. The government hasn’t reacted to the video yet.

“After the video, the term ‘dictatorship’ has popped up more in conversations, and this is something that has never happened before,” Mr Banerjee says.

“Our job as influencers may not be to open the window and check if it’s really raining, but we owe it to the nation to take a look outside the window and let people know if dark clouds are approaching and that they can do something about it by voting.”

Abdulrahman Mari died in an Israeli prison after 7 October

A few days after Hamas attacked Israel and war erupted in Gaza, Umm Mohamed in the occupied West Bank received a telephone call from her son in an Israeli prison.

“Pray for me mum,” Abdulrahman Mari said. “Things are getting harder here. They might not let me speak to you again”.

It would be the last time she heard his voice.

Conditions deteriorated for Palestinian prisoners in Israel after 7 October last year, when Hamas mounted its deadly assault on Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip, according to the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority’s (PA) Commission of Detainees Affairs.

Thirteen Palestinian prisoners have since died in Israeli prisons, “the majority of them as a result of beating or denial of medication”, the commission’s head, Qadoura Fares, told the BBC.

Abdulrahman was one of the first to die.

A carpenter in the village of Qarawat Bani Hassan, he had been on his way back home from work in Ramallah in February last year when he was arrested at a mobile checkpoint. He was taken into administrative detention – under which Israel can hold people indefinitely without charge – in Megiddo prison.

His brother Ibrahim said the charges against him were minor, such as taking part in protests and possessing a firearm, but said he was also accused of belonging to Hamas although there were no specific charges about any activities within the group.

Ibrahim is still trying to piece together how exactly his brother died. He has to rely on testimony from Abdulrahman’s former cellmates, as well as reports from court hearings.

One former cellmate, who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity, said: “After 7 October, it was total torture. They beat us for no reason, they searched us for no reason. Even if you look at someone the wrong way.”

He described having seen Abdulrahman heavily beaten in front of him and others.

“At 9am, they came into our cell, and began to beat us. One of the guards began to insult Abdulrahman’s parents, which he didn’t stand for, and he began to fight back.

“They beat him badly, and took him away to another cell upstairs for a week. During that time you could hear him crying out in pain.”

He said he had only found out about Abdulrahman’s death after he left prison a week later.

The Israeli prison service did not directly address the BBC’s questions about Abdulrahman’s death or those of the 12 other named Palestinians that the Commission of Detainees Affairs says have died, saying only: “We are not familiar with the claims described and as far as we know they are not true.”

Getty ImagesIsrael has detained thousands of West Bank Palestinians since 7 October

Professor Danny Rosin, a doctor from the group Physicians for Human Rights, attended the examination of Abdulrahman Mari’s body. His remarks corroborate what Abdulrahman’s cellmate and brother told the BBC.

Prof Rosin’s report mentioned that bruises had been seen over Abdulrahman’s left chest, and that he had several broken ribs. External bruises were also seen on the back, buttocks, left arm and thigh, as well as the right side of the head and neck with no fractures underneath.

It also quoted an additional police report which had mentioned “forceful restraint” being used on Mr Mari six days before his death.

Professor Rosin said in the report that while no specific cause of death had been found, “one may assume that the violence he suffered manifested by the multiple bruises and multiple severe rib fractures contributed to his death”.

He also added that “irregular pulse” or a “heart attack” could result from these injuries without leaving any physical evidence.

Israel currently holds more than 9,300 security prisoners, the vast majority of whom are Palestinians according to the Israeli rights group HaMoked, including more than 3,600 people in administrative detention.

These figures do not include detainees from the Gaza Strip being held in separate facilities by the Israeli military.

Mr Qadoura says the change after 7 October “affected every aspect of the prisoners’ lives”, alleging that prisoners have been subjected to starvation and thirst and some of those with chronic illnesses were denied their medication. Beatings became more regular and more brutal.

“I met a detainee who’d lost 20kg in the last three months,” he said.

“It’s as if the war on Gaza was also a war on Palestinian prisoners. It was all a form of revenge.”

Arafat Hamdan was dead within two days of his arrest

The BBC has previously heard from Palestinian prisoners who described being hit with sticks, having muzzled dogs set on them and having their clothes, food and blankets taken away in the weeks after 7 October.

The Israeli prison service has denied any mistreatment, saying that “all prisoners are held in accordance with the law while respecting their basic rights and under the supervision of a professional and skilled prison staff”.

It said prisons had gone into “emergency mode” after war broke out and it had been “decided to reduce the living conditions of the security prisoners”. Examples it gave included removing electrical equipment and cutting electricity to cells and reducing prisoners’ activities in the wings.

In the West Bank village of Beit Sira, Arafat Hamdan’s father showed where Israeli police officers had kicked the door of his family home and stormed in at 04:00 on 22 October looking for his son.

Police covered his son’s face with a thick black cloth and closed it around his neck with a rope. The mask smelled strongly, he said, and Arafat clearly had a hard time breathing with it on.

“I kept trying to comfort him.” Yasser Hamdan told the BBC. “It’s ok. They have nothing against you. They have nothing against us. I kept telling him that as they tied him up outside the house. Then they took him.”

Two days later a phone call came. Arafat had been found dead in his cell in Ofer prison in the West Bank.

Israeli authorities have not explained how he died. Arafat had Type 1 diabetes and would suffer from low blood sugar levels from time to time.

His father said one of the police officers arresting Arafat had told him to bring medicine with him, but it was unclear if he had been able to.

The BBC obtained a report by Dr Daniel Solomon, a surgeon who was present at the post mortem of Arafat Hamdan at the request of Physicians for Human Rights.

Dr Solomon said it had been carried out in Israel on 31 October but added that the condition of the body, due to prolonged refrigeration, had made it harder to determine the cause of death.

He also noted the absence of any records showing if Arafat’s diabetes medication had been administered and at what dosing.

The report also mentioned the need for other tests beyond the post mortem to determine the cause of death.

“Until now we don’t know how he died. Nothing is clear.” Yasser Hamdan said.

Umm Mohammed said Abdulrahman had become a leader of his group of prisoners before his death

Neither Arafat’s nor Abdulrahman’s bodies have yet been returned. Their families want to arrange their own post mortems, hold funerals, and say a final goodbye.

“He was my flesh and blood. Then he was gone in a moment,” Yasser Hamdan said. Photos of his son were everywhere you looked in his apartment.

Umm Mohamed showed photos of Abdulrahman on her phone, pointing to one and saying: “Look at him. He was so cheerful.”

Over time he had become a leader in his group of prisoners, she said.

“He’d call me when he was making breakfast for them when they were all still asleep. He was always the most active. He would never sit still, that boy.”

She broke down. “Bring him back to me. I want to see him one last time. One last look.”

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Demonstrasi besar-besaran terus terjadi di Israel. Ribuan warga menuntut agar Perdana Menteri (PM) Benjamin Netanyahu mundur dari jabatannya karena dianggap tak mampu membebaskan para tawanan.

Dikutip dari AFP, warga berkumpul di depan parlemen, Selasa malam. Keluarga sandera Israel yang ditahan di Gaza dan mantan PM Ehud Barak menyalahkan Netanyahu atas “bencana” serangan Hamas pada 7 Oktober dan menuntut pemilihan umum segera.

PILIHAN REDAKSITsunami Terjang Jepang Imbas Gempa Dahsyat Taiwan, 3 Wilayah KenaAS Respons Israel Rudal Mati 3 Jenderal Iran, Apa Kata Biden?Update Baru Korban Gempa Dahsyat Taiwan, 7 Tewas-700 Terluka

“Anda adalah seorang firaun, pembunuh anak sulung. (Sebanyak) 240 anak diculik di bawah pengawasan Anda. Itu salah Anda,” kata Einav Zangauker, yang putranya Matan masih ditahan di Gaza oleh Hamas, merujuk pada Netanyahu.

“Anda gagal dalam segala hal pada tanggal 7 Oktober. Saat ini Anda adalah penghalang bagi kesepakatan penyanderaan,” tambahnya.

Mereka menilai Netanyahu tidak benar-benar mendorong pembebasan. Warga yang memprotes juga menyoroti UU peradilan baru Netanyahu yang ditakutkan mengancam demokrasi.

“Tugas dasar negara adalah memastikan kembalinya mereka yang diculik. Saya naif, saya tidak menyadari bahwa PM kita tidak tertarik untuk memulangkan mereka karena pertimbangan politik,” ujar warga lain Merav Svirsky, yang kehilangan kedua orang tuanya dalam serangan Hamas dan saudara laki-lakinya kemudian terbunuh di Gaza.

Sementara itu Ehud Barak sendiri menyoroti langkah Netanyahu yang keukeuh melancarkan serangan darat di Rafah. Ia mengatakan para sandera akan kembali dalam peti mati.

“Saya menyerukan pemilu cepat, dan orang yang bertanggung jawab atas bencana tersebut harus dicopot dari kendali kekuasaan,” tegasnya.

Pada 7 Oktober lalu, serangan Hamas yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya menghantam Israel dan mengakibatkan sekitar 1.160 kematian di Israel. Hamas mengklaim serangan dilakukan sebagai balasan penjajahan Israel selama ini ke tanah Palestina.

Hamas juga menyandera sekitar 250 sandera pada serangan itu. Saat ini, 33 di antaranya diperkirakan tewas.

Serangan itu dibalas genosida oleh Israel, di mana hingga kini total 32.916 warga sipil tewas sebagian besar perempuan dan anak-anak. Meski ada resolusi Dewan Keaman (DK) PBB kekerasan tak berhenti hinggahttps://selerapedas.com/ kini.

Sampurno, seorang petani lokal, mengatakan panen di Pandere , Kabupaten Sigi dengan luas tanah pertanian yang mencapai 200 hektare. Ia mengatakan satu hektare lahan sawah menghasilkan 5 – 6 ton gabah.

“Satu hektarnya kadang ada 5 ton, kadang ada 6 ton. Bagus kalau 5-6 ton itu bagus,” kata Sampurno.

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Pengusaha tekstil dan produk tekstil (TPT) nasional mendukung langkah pemerintah mengatur arus masuk barang impor lewat Peraturan Menteri Perdagangan (Permendag) No 36/2023 tentang Kebijakan Pengaturan Impor. Permendag itu diberlakukan sejak 10 Maret 2024 lewat Permendag No 3/2024 tentang Perubahan atas Permendag No 36/2023 tentang Kebijakan Pengaturan Impor.

Pengusaha TPT mengungkapkan, dengan aturan itu, arus impor ilegal yang selama ini merusak pasar domestik akan bisa ditekan. Dengan begitu, utilisasi pabrik TPT yang juga sempat anjlok, perlahan akan kembali pulih. 

Menurut Ketua Ikatan Pengusaha Konveksi Bandung (IPKB) Nandi Herdiaman, sejak aturan itu diberlakukan, order yang masuk ke sentra-sentra industri kecil-menengah (IKM) di wilayah Jawa mengalami lonjakan signifikan.

“Sampai-sampai kami kewalahan mencari pekerja, karena penjahit-penjahit yang kemarin dirumahkan sebagian pulang kampung,” katanya dalam keterangan resmi, Senin (25/3/2024).

“Bahkan kami didatangi salah satu platform online besar yang menyodorkan kontrak untuk dijual di platfom mereka,” tambah Nandi. 

Sebelumnya, tutur Nandi, IKM TPT di dalam negeri mengalami kesulitan akibat anjloknya permintaan. IKM-IKM konveksi, kata dia, banyak yang tutup. Salah satu penyebabnyam ujar dia, barang-barang TPT yang dijual online selama ini kebanyakan impor. 

Meski pengusaha IKM TPT juga mulai ikut berjualan langsung produknya lewat online, kata dia, tak banyak membantu. 

“Memang nggak gampang melindungi pasar dan mengembangkan industri di dalam negeri. Akibat aturan impor ini, kami sekarang mendapat orderan dari e-commerce, minta kerja sama. Artinya aturan ini menciptakan pasar baru bagi kami. IKM konveksi yang tadinya PHK, ada sekitar 40% yang tutup, kini bangkit. Aturan impor ini betul-betul  berdampak bagi kami yang ada di hilir,” paparnya.

“Untuk itu, kami meminta pemerintah tetap konsisten menjalankan peraturan ini untuk melindungi IKM dan UKM tekstil dari gempuran barang-barang impor. Terima kasih juga kami sampaikan kepada Menteri Koperasi dan UKM yang senantiasa membela produsen kecil seperti kami,” cetusnya.

Nandi menegaskan, pengusaha TPT nasional bukan anti akan produk impor. 

“Kami sudah bertahun-tahun berteriak minta pertolongan. Kami tidak anti-impor. Tapi kalau ada baju yang dijual dengan harga sangat murah di online, bahkan ada baju anak Rp5.000, itu sudah pasti ilegal. Karena HPP baju paling murah itu Rp20.000 (per potong). Selam ini kami berusaha bertahan hidup karena masih ada permintaan seragam dari instansi pemerintah. Kalau bicara IKM-IKM konveksi dalam negeri, yang bahkan sudah bermerek, sudah banyak yang mati,” tukasnya. 

“Ada jutaan jutaan orang yang nasibnya akan terdampak dengan Permendag ini. Dan perlu diingat, setiap ada orderan ke IKM konveksi atau TPT hilir, berarti kami membeli bahan baku. Artinya, industri TPT di hulu akan terbantu,” pungkas https://selerapedas.com/Nandi.

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Menteri Perhubungan Budi Karya Sumadi mengungkapkan, akan ada sejumlah titik kemacetan selama masa mudik Lebaran 2024. Di antaranya ada di beberapa ruas tol Cikopo-Palimanan atau Cipali, Pelabuhan Merak, hingga Pelabuhan Ketapang.

“Di Cipali karena ada beberapa ruas yang mengecil, lalu ada di Merak akan ada antrian, dan satu lagi di Ketapang,” kata Menhub saat konferensi pers secara daring, Minggu (17/3/2024).

Selain di daerah-daerah itu, Budi Karya mengatakan, telah mengidentifikasi juga potensi kepadatan di jalur laut, di antaranya di kawasan Medan, Batam, Samarinda, serta wilayah Sulawesi Selatan. Untuk jalur udara di Bandara Soekarno-Hatta dan Bandara Ngurah Rai.

Kepala Korps Lalu Lintas (Kakorlantas) Polri Brigjen Aan Suhanan menambahkan, untuk titik kemacetan di ruas tol Cipali seiring dengan adanya pengoperasioan tol Cisumdawu. Akibatnya, akan ada titik temu nantinya dengan ruas tol Cipali untuk pengguna yang ke arah Jawa dari Bandung.

“Jadi ada pertemuan titik Cisumdawu dan Cipali. Ini sudah kita kelola untuk bottleneck nya dengan kita akan perpanjang rambu pertemuannya sepanjang 1 km supaya jalannya smooth,” tegas Aan.

Aan mengatakan, di wilayah tol tentunya akan ada titik kemacetan nantinya di berbagai area rest area, seperti di km 87, serta akan ada titik kemacetan di kawasan u-turn jalur tol yang terdampak kebijakan satu arah atau one way saat arus mudik.

“Di jalur arteri seperti di Pantura juga ini akan masih, lintasan sebidang masih jadi titik macet atau perlambatan, kemudian pasar tumpah juga masih kita petakan,” ucap Aan.

Sebagai informasi, Kementerian Perhubungan memperkirakan akan ada 193,6 juta penduduk yang akan mudik pada tahun ini, naik dari catatan pada 2023 sebanyak 123,8 juta penduduk, dan 2022 hanya 85,5 juta.

Kementerian Perhubungan memperkirakan puncak arus mudik Lebaran 2024 akan terjadi pada 8 April 2024 atau H-2 perkiraan Idul Fitri 1445 Hijriyah. Selain itu, potensi kepadatan akan terjadi pada H-4 Lebaran, yakni 5 April 2024, dan pada H-3 lebaran atau pada 7 April 2024.

Untuk puncak arus balik Kementerian Perhubungan memperkirakan jatuh pada H+3 Lebaran 2024 dengan persentase mencapai 21,16% pemudik nasional atau setara dengan 40,99 juta orang. Diikuti tanggal H+7 lebaran setara 17,33% atau 33,56 juta.
