A video of a man talking about violence at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is being shared<\/a> with the claim that he is BJP MLA, Anil Upadhyay. The man questions if anyone has the guts to raise their voice against Home Minister Amit Shah. “Show me one journalist who has spoken about the violence in JNU and Jamia,”<\/em> he says adding, “If anyone speaks against Modi, for now (we) have just entered in colleges and beaten up, has anyone been able to do anything and if (you) speak more then we will enter your house and smack you down and finish your life.”<\/em> The statement comes across a threat allegedly given by a BJP MLA.<\/p>\n

Another video<\/a> is doing the rounds on social media along similar lines – that he is BJP MLA Anil Upadhyaya. However, in this video, the man is criticising the government and calling for Hindu-Muslim brotherhood. “We’ll celebrate Eid, Bakri Eid, Diwali and Holi,”\u00a0<\/em>he says, adding that this country belongs to everyone. “This is BJP MLA Anil Upadhyay. What is Narendra Modi saying about his speech? (translated)”,\u00a0<\/em>reads the message shared along with the video. A Facebook user shared the video<\/a> with the same claim.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h2>\n

In the fact-check, we will debunk the two videos separately.<\/p>\n

Video 1<\/h3>\n

The man in the video is Harish Mishra, a former district president of Seva Dal which is a grassroots frontal organization affiliated with the Indian National Congress (INC). Alt News had earlier debunked<\/a> a video of Mishra in November 2019, when it was shared with the narrative that a BJP leader was threating a journalist about reporting against the government. However, the complete video makes it evident that Mishra is a BJP critic and not a supporter. BOOM<\/em><\/a> spoke to Rajeshwar Singh Patel, Varanasi district president and confirmed that Mishra is an active member with the Congress.<\/p>\n
