A Facebook Live posted by Avi Dandiya on March 1, where he claimed that the Pulwama attack was orchestrated by the BJP, has received over a million views in less than 24 hours. During his FB live, Dandiya presented an audio clip of an alleged conversation between home minister Rajnath Singh, BJP chief Amit Shah and an unidentified woman where it seemed that the trio was planning an attack on Indian jawans to arouse nationalistic\u00a0sentiments in the country.<\/p>\n

[Update: Dandiya took down his video after Alt News’s fact-check was published. However, not before it attracted 2 million views and over one lakh shares. A YouTube link of the said Facebook Live can be accessed below.]<\/em><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6tMGJ054dhQ<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Dandiya’s FB live was picked up various Pakistani websites, including thepost.com.pk<\/a>, defence.pk<\/a>, siasat.pk<\/a>, zemtv.com<\/a>, dailycapital.pk,<\/a>\u00a0ARY News.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pakistani political commentator Zaid Hamid also shared a YouTube link of Dandiya’s video.<\/p>\n

\n

Now this is a nuclear strike on Modi…
\nThis Indian fellow has played a clip where Modi, a female intelegnce officer and a senior RSS leader are potting the pulwama attack…it makes chilling hearing….
\nThis must be investigated….Modi has gone silent..https:\/\/t.co\/juEj9mOU8R<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Zaid Hamid (@ZaidZamanHamid) March 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Alt News, however, found that the audio clip presented by Dandiya was completely bogus and manufactured by lifting different portions of old interviews given by BJP leaders. Parts of these interviews were conjoined to make it seems that Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah were discussing a ploy to kill Indian soldiers.<\/p>\n

Twitter user Arif Khan alerted people about Dandiya’s fake audio clip which has caused quite a stir among both Indian and Pakistani social media users.<\/p>\n

\n

So this is the interview from where the audio was picked ..<\/p>\n

Is video me 4:20 aur 5:10 par kahi gayi line avi dandiya ne kaat ke apne farzi audio me dali hai …https:\/\/t.co\/jk6lidi9Ru<\/a><\/p>\n

About the portions involving Amit Shah, social media user Smit Amin<\/a> reached out to Alt News, specifying the original videos that were used to morph the BJP chief into the audio conversation. This article has been updated with Shah’s statements, which can be found in the last sub-section.<\/p>\n
