00:00 The Delhi police took action on Sunday filing an FIR in response to a complaint regarding
00:07 a doctored video featuring Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
00:11 The BJP asserted that the video, which purportedly showed Shah advocating for abolition of reservation
00:16 for SC and ST, is fabricated.
00:19 According to the BJP, the original footage depicted Shah discussing the elimination of
00:23 unconstitutional four-person reservation for Muslims in Telangana.
00:27 It was allegedly manipulated to falsely portray Shah as calling for an end to Muslim reservation
00:33 during a recent Lok Sabha election rally.
00:36 Prompted by these allegations, the Delhi police has now reached out to AXE and Facebook requesting
00:40 information about the account responsible for sharing the video.
00:45 Numerous social media handles, including the official handle of Congress State Units, shared
00:49 the video contending that BJP is now aiming to abolish SC/ST reservation.
00:55 For instance, the Telangana Congress tweeted the video stating that "Breaking news!
00:59 Amit Shah's election speech has went viral in which he is saying that BJP government
01:03 is formed again, OBC and SC/ST reservation will be abolished."
01:08 Immediately after the video, the BJP leader Amit Malviya condemned the dissemination of
01:12 the video and sharing the original video.
01:15 Malviya accused Congress of orchestrating the dissemination of falsified video warning
01:19 of legal repercussions for those involved and so the FIR is now filed.
01:25 Senior BJP leaders have confirmed plans to file FIR across the country in response to
01:29 the complaint regarding the manipulated video.
01:32 Amit Shah's real remark was made during the run-up to the 2023 Telangana Assembly elections
01:38 in which he had stated that the 4% Muslim reservation is unconstitutional.
01:44 At that time, Shah pledged that if BJP assumes power, this reservation will be revoked and
01:50 reallocated to the SC/STs and OBCs.
01:53 The Delhi Police's FIR has come as a major development in this case after the doctored
01:57 video highlighting the seriousness of the matter for the BJP.
02:01 It is very likely that the arrest will follow soon.
