On February 3, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra tweeted<\/a> a 45-second video clip with the claim, “\u0935\u094b \u091c\u0940\u0928\u093e \u091a\u093e\u0939\u0924\u0947 \u0939\u0948 \u0914\u0930 \u0939\u092e\u093e\u0930\u0947 \u092c\u091a\u094d\u091a\u0947 \u092e\u0930\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u094b \u0924\u0948\u092f\u093e\u0930 \u0939\u0948 (They want to live and our children are ready to die) Dangerous very Dangerous Wake Up before it\u2019s too late!!”. <\/em>The tweet has amassed close to 5,000 retweets so far. In the clip, a Muslim clergyman while making a provocative statement says*, “The way they have been torturing us. If we give a signal and instigate our young children then our children have way more strength than them. It’s because they find them alone. Remember they are our children, through the media, we want to let the whole people of this country know that we are the children of the man who stood on the dome of Kubbat Al Sakhra and said to Jews that Jews, you have ten people who want to live and I have the ones who want to die. We are the community, which embraces death.” <\/em>It is important to note here that the clip is being shared in the backdrop of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and ahead of the upcoming Delhi assembly elections.<\/p>\n

With a keyword search on Google, Alt News found that the same video was shared by Facebook page ‘Yogi Adityanath -True Indian<\/a>‘ in July 2019. Thus, the video is not recent and unrelated to anti-CAA protests.<\/p>\n

Mufti Raees Ahmed, the district president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hindi, had participated<\/a> in a protest organized by the Muslim community on June 27, 2019. It was a demonstration outside at Dehradun court in the wake of Tabrez Ansari’s lynching in Jharkhand. He gave the objectionable speech while speaking to media persons and according to a Times of India<\/em><\/a> report, a case was registered with the Kotwali police under section 153 A (1)(b) [promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion] and 505-2 [hate speech] of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).<\/p>\n
