What is the Actual Truth About this Incident? : Fact
The truth is that this is an outdated video of people supporting the government and the police sdministration against the CAA protestors in 2019. There is no connection between Farmer Protest 2024 and this outdated video.
We visited lokmatnews, which published an article on this incident on December 27, 2019 with the headline ” ‘Modi ji, you beat the stick, we are with you’, these slogans were raised in Haryana’s rally, BJP leader shared this and wrote this”. The video was uploaded on Facebook by Rewari Haryana on Dec 28, 2019. This shows that the incident is old and not at all recent.
