A clip of around 17-second length containing a speech by Union home minister Amit Shah is viral on social media. In the clip, the BJP leader can be heard talking about the esteemed educational institutions in the country such as NIT, IIT, IIIT, IIM and AIIMS. He seems to be claiming that these institutions were built by the BJP government.<\/p>\n

On X (formerly Twitter), several prominent handles associated with the Opposition camp have shared the clip calling out the ‘lies’ by the home minister and ‘fact-checking’ his statement.<\/p>\n

The Congress’ official X handle shared a 2.53-minute clip with a background score where the above-mentioned statement by Shah is followed by commentary on his ‘lies’ and various commonly shared comical\/spoof videos. In the clip, a presenter ‘fact-checks’ the statement by Amit Shah. She also brings up the recent false claim<\/a> by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that AIIMS Darbhanga had been made fully operational.

Congress’s social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate shared an 18-second video of Shah’s statement with a caption in Hindi that can be translated as follows: “Amit Shah ji, you were born in 1964 but you are an embodiment of lies, but this one is too much even for you! This was the foresight of Pandit Nehru \u2013 the first IIT, IIM, AIIMS, NIT of this country were built even before your birth.<\/p>\n

Like you all, Nehru neither did petty politics nor whined \u2013 he used to build the nation. You also try – apart from a WhatsApp University spreading lies, your score is nil and silence!” (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n
