4. No, ‘Pak Zindabad’ Slogans Weren’t Raised by ‘Rohingyas’ in Bengal
A viral video claiming that a ‘thanksgiving’ rally was taken out by ‘Rohingyas’ in West Bengal after winning the Assembly elections and that they had chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans.
The viral video was shared with a claim that the rally was taken out by ’31 Rohingyas’ elected in the Assembly elections in West Bengal and questioned where ‘Secular India’ was leading people.
However, we found that the claim was false and the video was from Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich district.
Further, the crowd was chanting ‘Haji Sahab Zindabad’ and not ‘Pakistan Zindabad’. This was after Haji Abdul Kalim won the recently held Panchayat elections in UP. A news report corroborated these details and added that the police had later registered a case against 100 unidentified persons for violating COVID-19 protocols.
Bahraich Police, too, issued a clarification about the location and slogans in the viral video via Twitter.
