The video description mentions that this footage was from the day Hooda cast his vote during the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections. This means it has nothing to do with any statement on reservation. It appears that the viral video was a three-month-old clip that had been doctored with false graphics and voiceovers to create the appearance of a statement being made against reservation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-LXoh1IqPCo?si=5QWXSpNhRNVL74dn]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact, Times Now Navbharat later tweeted a clarification, debunking the viral video as fake.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"hi\">Fake News Alert<\/p>\n<p>TIMES NOW \u0928\u0935\u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924 \u0915\u0940 \u092c\u094d\u0930\u0948\u0902\u0921\u093f\u0902\u0917 \u0915\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0925 \u0906\u0930\u0915\u094d\u0937\u0923 \u0916\u0924\u094d\u092e \u0915\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u094b \u0932\u0947\u0915\u0930 \u0938\u094b\u0936\u0932 \u092e\u0940\u0921\u093f\u092f\u093e \u092a\u0930 \u092b\u0948\u0932\u093e\u0908 \u091c\u093e \u0930\u0939\u0940 \u0939\u0948 \u092f\u0947 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FakeNews?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FakeNews<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TNNavbharat?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TNNavbharat<\/a> \u0928\u0947 \u0939\u0930\u093f\u092f\u093e\u0923\u093e \u0915\u0947 \u092a\u0942\u0930\u094d\u0935 \u092e\u0941\u0916\u094d\u092f\u092e\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930\u0940 \u0914\u0930 \u0926\u093f\u0917\u094d\u0917\u091c \u0915\u093e\u0902\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0947\u0938\u0940 \u0928\u0947\u0924\u093e \u092d\u0942\u092a\u0947\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930 \u0938\u093f\u0902\u0939 \u0939\u0941\u0921\u094d\u0921\u093e \u0915\u0947 \u092c\u092f\u093e\u0928 \u0938\u0947 \u091c\u0941\u0921\u093c\u0940 \u0910\u0938\u0940 \u0915\u094b\u0908 \u0916\u093c\u092c\u0930 \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902 \u091a\u0932\u093e\u0908 \u0939\u0948\u0964<\/p>\n<p>\u0905\u092b\u0935\u093e\u0939\u094b\u0902 \u0938\u0947 \u0938\u093e\u0935\u0927\u093e\u0928\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/usTyn1mQ1v\">pic.twitter.com\/usTyn1mQ1v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Times Now Navbharat (@TNNavbharat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TNNavbharat\/status\/1833816290575732739?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/cities\/chandigarh-news\/bjp-is-anti-backward-classes-anti-dalit-hooda-101721239746496.html\">media reports<\/a> published in July 2024, Bhupinder Singh Hooda was quoted accusing the BJP of being &#8220;anti-Dalit and backward,&#8221; which contradicts the claims made in the doctored video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To sum it up, Right-wing social media accounts and pro-BJP users edited an old <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Times Now Navbharat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> report to falsely claim that former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda had made a statement against reservation.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video with the logo of Times Now Navbharat has gone viral on social media with the claim that former Haryana chief minister and Congress leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda made a statement against reservation.
