A video is being circulated on social media claiming that it is from Kerala. The text accompanying the video says ‘In Mallapuram district of Kerala, Muslim youths throw stones on Hindu houses shouting Allahu Akbar’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The text with the video further goes on to assert that Kerala has become a haven for Muslim extremists and that Mallapuram and Kannur are witnessing ‘ethnic cleansing’. Hindus are supposedly in danger in Kerala. Among those who shared the video is Hardik Bhatt, who is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The video has been widely circulated on social media, and keeps appearing in the public domain from time to time. So when and where is this video from? Alt News conducted a fact check and found that the video indeed is from Kerala, but it was not an attack on Hindus by Muslim but the manifestation of a political rivalry.This video has been available on YouTube since 2016. It is of August 15, 2016 and the attackers are Indian Union of Muslim League (IUML) activists who are attacking the CPI(M) office in Nadapuram, Kerala.<\/p>\n
