A video circulating on social media shows a group of people attempting to place the Indian flag on a coconut vendor’s stall on Independence Day. In the video, a fruit vendor, who is seen wearing a cap commonly associated with Islamic attire, is shown objecting to them placing the flag on his stall. The vendor repeatedly uses the word “Bhaijaan”. Alongside the fruit vendor, a woman wearing a hijab is also present. This video is being shared with claims that Muslims have an issue with the Indian flag.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ajay Chauhan, who shares communal misinformation and propaganda on a regular basis, shared the video, writing, “Forget about the saffron flag, do they not want the Indian tricolour now?” (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

An account named “Trunicle” shared the video with the caption, “This Muslim man objects to putting the Indian flag on his premises.” The tweet was later deleted. (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadhvi Prachi, a leader of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, shared the video, questioning the patriotism of the Muslim community. (<\/span>Archived link<\/a>)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fact Check<\/b><\/h4>\n

A keyword search led us to a longer version of this video on a YouTube channel named “Ritik Kataria,” uploaded on August 14, 2023. Upon viewing the full video, it becomes clear that this channel produces scripted content. <\/span><\/p>\n

The video in question was created with the intention of spreading awareness, emphasising that the national flag should be placed at the highest position. The video depicts a staged argument between the vendor and the customers, followed by the appearance of a person dressed in a police uniform. The video concludes by revealing that the Indian flag was already present at a higher place above the stall. At the end, the person in the police uniform extends Independence Day greetings on behalf of Haryana Police.<\/span><\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_N28V2sYW8A?si=BnfOITVQw5rxOw29]<\/p>\n

The person portraying the Muslim vendor is actually an actor named Ritik Kataria. The individual dressed as a policeman, identified by the nameplate reading “Amar Kataria,” is also related to the channel. A look at the channel\u2019s “About” section<\/a> confirms that it is run by Ritik Kataria, and it mentions that his father, Amar Kataria, is a sub-inspector in Haryana Police with a keen interest in acting. The channel’s username (@amarkataria) also reflects this connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Alt News reviewed another video<\/a> on this channel, where Amar Kataria can be seen acting in a police uniform in similar scripted content.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To sum it up, several users have shared a scripted video, originally intended to spread awareness, in a misleading context, falsely questioning the patriotism of Indian Muslims.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
