A video is being shared widely on social media with a claim that when Amit Shah said – ‘Congress party’, the public in the meeting said – ‘zindabad’. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of the public saying ‘zindabad’ when Amit Shah said – ‘Congress Party’.
Fact: The public in the video said ‘murdabad’ (which roughly means downfall and is the opposite of zindabad), not zindabad. The video was taken at a public meeting in Uttarakhand. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When the screenshots of the video were run through Google Reverse Image Search, the extended version of the same video was found in the search results. The video was published with the title – ‘HM Shri Amit Shah addresses public meeting in Raipur, Uttarakhand’, by ‘Bharatiya Janata Party’ YouTube channel. The posted clip can be seen at 11:22 in the video. If one listens to the audio carefully, when Amit Shah said – ‘Congress Party’ and pauses, it can be heard that the public said ‘murdabad’ (which roughly means downfall and is the opposite of zindabad), not zindabad.
For better clarity on the said word, the slowed down, loud version of the posted clip can be seen here. Also, none of the news agencies have reported any ‘Congress party zindabad’ slogans at the BJP Amit Shah meeting in Raipur (Uttarakhand).
To sum it up, the public said ‘murdabad’, not ‘zindabad’, when Amit Shah said – ‘Congress Party’, in this video
