Clipped video

The 16-second video viral on social media has been lifted from a 33:35-minute long speech that Sidhu gave in Kishanganj during a Congress rally. At around 31:24, the Congress MP can be heard saying, “Raise both your hands and chant. We’ll first raise the slogans of Sikhs, then our Muslim brothers and then Hindus. We’ll raise all slogans.” Sidhu goes on to say “Bole So Nihaal”, followed by three chants of “Allah-o Akhbar”. He subsequently says that we are one and asks the crowd to raise their hands and say “Bharat Mata ki Jai”. This video was earlier fact-checked by Boomlive.

Therefore, while Navjot Singh Sidhu raised the chants of “Allah-O Akhbar”, he also raised other slogans like “Bole Sonihal” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai”.
