A video is being shared on social media claiming it as visuals of Yogi Adityanath making Asaduddin Owaisi silent and making him sit when he interrupted his speech in Parliament. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of Yogi Adityanath making Asaduddin Owaisi silent and making him sit when he interrupted his speech in Parliament.
Fact: The video shared in the post is an edited one. This video was created by editing two different instances from the same Lok Sabha session held on 13 August 2014. Hence, the claim made in the post is MISLEADING.
On reverse image search of the screenshots in the video, it is found that the video shows visuals from the Lok Sabha session held on 13 August 2014. Initiating the discussion on the ‘Need for more effective mechanism to deal with communal violence’ in the Lok Sabha session, leaders from both BJP and Congress party accused each other of pursuing a divisive agenda and inciting communal riots to retain power. BJP published the video of this Lok Sabha discussion on their official YouTube channel. At 10:24 minute of the video, when a female politician from the opposition party was interrupting his speech, the then Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath demanded her to sit down calling her allegations baseless.
At 13:24 minutes of the same video, we can see AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi interrupting Yogi Adityanath’s speech and explaining the speaker about the alleged wrong figures quoted by Yogi on communal riots. At 14:02 minutes of the video, when Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker Dr. M Thambidurai asked Owaisi to sit down, Owaisi sat down in his seat. The video shared in the post was created by editing two different instances of the Lok Sabha session held on 13 August 2014.
Several news websites published articles reporting the Lok Sabha discussion held on 13 August 2014, on communal riots. They can be seen here and here.
To sum it up, edited video is shared as visuals of Yogi Adityanath making Owaisi sit when he interrupted his speech in the Parliament.
