Social media users are sharing an old video of a group of people beating an old man on a busy street for saying “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” (Long live mother India).
On October 15, 2019, in the Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, a man was beaten up by a group of people for allegedly abusing people on the street. The old man was heard chanting “Bharat Mata ki Jai” and using foul language in this video.
Misleading claims:
A twitter user sharing the viral video wrote, “A grown man raises slogans of “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”, In return he gets kicked by the Muslims. Will this slogan be raised if not in India, then in Pakistan…? What situation has Delhi CM Kejriwal created…?” He received about 25.8k views after tweeting it on X.
