एम्बुलेंस में जिन्दगी और मौत से लड़ रही बच्ची थी और अंत में बच्ची ने दम तोड़ दिया।
मगर इन ज़ालिमों पर कोई फर्क़ नहीं पड़ेगा क्यूंकि उस मरने वाली मासूम बच्ची के बाप ने भी इन्हें ही वोट दिया था और आगे भी इन्हें ही वोट देगा।
हम कहां आ गये हैं दोस्तों, कहां ?
कोई बता सकता है हम जा किस दिशा में रहे हैं ?
यकीन मानिए साथियों हम गर्त में जा रहे हैं बल्कि बहुत हद तक तो हम जा भी चुके हैं अगर अभी नहीं रुके तो कभी नहीं।
सबको अपना कुछ ना कुछ खोना पड़ेगा किसी को मासूम बेटी, किसी को बेटा तो किसी को कुछ ओर आखिर हमारे भटकाव की नसीहत के तौर पे कुछ ना कुछ सज़ा तो बनती ही है।
दोस्तों राजनेताओं के चक्कर में आके अपनी कीमती चीजें दांव पर मत लगाओ।
ये लोग इंसान नहीं होते जानवर होते हैं, इन्हें किसी के दर्दों का कोई एहसास नहीं होता है।

The duration of the video as posted on social media varies from 45 seconds to 1:36 minutes. Several individual users have posted the video on Twitter and Facebook with identical text on their timelines. Alt News found that this video has been shared with the same narrative for several months.
The claim that an ambulance was stopped by Delhi police for BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, is false. Searching the key words ‘Manoj Tiwari Delhi Ambulance’, Alt News found that this video had gone viral earlier as well, with the same claim. The video is of 2017, and was uploaded on Facebook by a user. It is almost 2 minutes long.

The video was streamed live on April 1, 2017, and shows that the police did not allow the ambulance to pass the barricade. Alt News also found a news report by Hindustan Times dated April 5, 2017, related to the incident. According to the report, the incident took place near the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, and the route was blocked as the convoy of the Head of Malaysia was to pass from the area.
The report also quotes a senior police officer who had said, “The ambulance was stuck behind several cars. We got the passage cleared and brought it ahead. In a span of few minutes, it was allowed to go.”
The claim was earlier fact-checked by Times of India in September 2018. There is no truth to the assertion. that an ambulance was stopped by the police to make way for Manoj Tiwari’s barricade. In fact, Tiwari himself has clarified on Twitter that the video does not pertain to him, and has slammed the Congress party after a leader of the party tweeted the false claim.
@RahulGandhi is it compulsory to be a part of fake news factory if u have to be in congress? No traffic is ever stopped for any MP in Delhi or elsewhere, its an old video where international delegate was enroute In Delhi, @DelhiPolice pls register case against this @INC_GAURAV_ https://t.co/GAOuv1Mdcx
