On August 28, Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair tweeted<\/a> a 2:19-minute video recording of a Facebook (FB) Live of Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati, head priest at Ghaziabad-based Dasna Devi temple. The screen recording of the Live showed that it was uploaded by Narsinghanand’s associate<\/a> Yati Satyadevanand Saraswati on July 4.<\/p>\n

Several RW influencers love him & his Anti Muslim speeches. He gets huge support from RW because of which he continues to make speeches full of communal poison. Here is Yati Narasimhanand Saraswati Maharaj talking about women in Politics. Especially BJP women leaders in Politics. pic.twitter.com\/ec72fpjL4h<\/a><\/p>\n

In the now-deleted video, Narsinghanand could be heard saying, \u201cHear me out… I am giving priceless knowledge… that you won’t find anywhere else… The women you see in politics have or had been mistresses of at least one male politician.” Narsinghanand continued to utter similar vulgar and sexist remarks targeting women in politics from Samajwadi Party and BJP.<\/p>\n

A subsequent backlash<\/a> against Narsinghanad incidentally came from individuals<\/a> who had previously supported him. BJP supporter Shefali Vaidya<\/a> and BJP leader Kapil Mishra<\/a> were among the many people. The latter called Narsinghanad a frustrated man suffering from a “jihadi” mindset and added that he isn’t fit to represent the Jagadamba temple. In April, Mishra<\/a> had promoted a crowdfunding campaign for Narsinghanad that raised Rs 25 lakh.

Narsinghanad responded to the backlash by posting a video statement where he claimed, “This viral video is very old. Someone edited the video on FB. On FB, there is a Jihadi named Zubair. He has an entire team… Arfa Khanum Sherwani… many women… Jihadi team…The Print, The Wire lifted the video. Heavily edited it… Changed the meaning of the video and released it on social media.”<\/p>\n

On August 31, he changed his argument in an interview with The Print<\/a>. Narsinghanand floated the idea that the ‘edit’ was an inside job. At the 00:59<\/a> mark in the report, he said, “The video didn’t go viral. It was made viral. There is a video where I’m talking [in private]. A traitor or jihadi within us came and recorded the video while I was speaking. It isn’t my official statement. It was my view within my group. It was edited and then uploaded on Facebook. What’s shown in the video is something I haven’t said.”<\/p>\n

Facebook Live videos cannot be edited<\/h4>\n

The July 4, 2021 Facebook Live in question has been deleted by Satyadevanand. Alt News has the link to the deleted post<\/a>. Unlike a regular video upload, FB Live video is broadcasted in real-time and thus cannot be edit unless it is downloaded and re-uploaded.<\/p>\n

Several people had downloaded the FB Live. Alt News has a copy of the video<\/a> and a screen recording<\/a> of the Live that proves it was not edited.<\/p>\n

The now-deleted link of the video establishes that it was posted by a FB user with the profile ID (highlighted in bold) \u2014 [facebook[dot]com\/100002533247840<\/strong>\/videos\/247217473506269\/<\/p>\n

This number matches the profile ID of Satyadevanand’s FB profile URL<\/a> (highlighted in green).<\/p>\n
