Doctored video shows Amit Shah advocating the abolition of reservation quotas
The Delhi Police has registered a case over a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah circulating on social media platforms.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has filed a complaint seeking action against those responsible for altering the video and spreading misinformation. The MHA has attached a comprehensive report to its complaint, identifying the links and handles responsible for sharing the doctored video of the Home Minister.
The BJP denounced the video by saying that it had been manipulated to distort Amit Shah’s original statements made during a political rally.
The controversy surrounding the video escalated as various social media handles, including official accounts affiliated with the Congress, shared the doctored footage, alleging that it revealed the BJP’s “agenda to abolish SC/ST reservation quotas”.
The doctored video shows Amit Shah advocating the abolition of reservation quotas for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs).
The Delhi Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) on Sunday in response to concerns raised by the BJP regarding the authenticity of the video.
According to BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya, the video in question has been altered to misrepresent Shah’s remarks on the issue of reservation quotas for Muslims in Telangana.
