Opindia found that āThe Peopleās Forumā has been organising teach-in sessions, seminars and movie screenings since 2019 to disseminate a distorted idea of Jammu and Kashmir to its global audience.
It has openly called for the secession of the integral part of the Indian territory and extended support to extremist elements, calling for 'Azadi.'

Hafsa Kanjwal too was invited by āThe Peopleās Forumā to the screening of another propaganda film titled āKhoon Diy Baaravā on March 29, 2019.
The unknown movie was directed by one Iffat Fatima about the supposedly āabject plightā of Kashmiris in the Valley.
Despite all-out efforts by the Neville Roy Singham-financed organisation to spread the word about the film, it failed to make an impact.
As such, another screening of the same propaganda movie was held by āThe Peopleās Forumā on March 20, 2020.

In October 2019, the People's Forum held a seminar on Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and seized the opportunity to attack Hinduism under the pretext of condemning āHindutvaā.
It is aĀ classical tropeĀ used by Hinduphobes who claim āHinduismā and āHindutvaā are different. In reality, they do not make any such distinction. Interestingly, the event was co-sponsored by āHindus for Human Rights (HfHR).

The Peopleās Forum had been trying to exploit fault lines between the incumbent Indian government and the farming community in the country.
Amid the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, it conducted a seminar by a Communist party-affiliated Student Federation of India (SFI) leader V Srinivasa Rao.
The event titled āMake the land proud: Indiaās Peasant Struggles and the 2019 Electionā hoped to capitalise on the growing resentment of farmers towards the Modi government and impact the outcome of the polls.
When the Modi government introduced three historic farm laws to alleviate concerns among the farming community, The Peopleās Forum came out with all guns blazing and lent credence to the politically motivated farmerās protest and the eventual repeal of the landmark legislation.

@DisinfoLab This became evident when it promoted the propaganda-laden book āWhen Farmers Stood Upā, celebrating the repeal of a law due to the āstreet vetoā.
One of the speakers invited to the panel discussion was Aishe Ghosh, who was involved in the infamous JNU riots of 2020.

āThe Peopleās Forumā appeared fascinated with Communist hardliners such as EMS Namboodiripad.
Namboodiripad, who was the first Chief Minister of the State of Kerala, had infamously called #Gandhi a āHindu fundamentalist.ā
The Peopleās Forumā chose to organise a presentation on his life to further disseminate his āinsights on Marxist theory, the international communist movement, caste, womenās struggle, and national liberation.ā
