A recent development in the Indian capital city of New Delhi has brought forth a heated discussion in the political sphere. According to sources, the Delhi Police have summoned a total of 16 leaders from seven different states, including Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The reason for this is a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, which falsely portrays him as advocating for the abolishment of reservation quotas for Muslims in Telangana. In reality, the minister had only stated his commitment to eliminating all reservations across the state. This misleading video has sparked outrage and prompted the Special Cell of Delhi Police to send teams to Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Nagaland, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh as part of their ongoing investigation into the matter.
Earlier this week, Reddy and four other members of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee were summoned to appear before the police on May 1st. In addition, a Samajwadi Party candidate in Uttar Pradesh and two Congress leaders in Rajasthan and Nagaland have also been asked to present their mobile phones for further examination. These actions were taken after the Delhi Police received two complaints, one from the BJP and another from the Ministry of Home Affairs. As a result, the Special Cell's Cyber Wing filed an FIR and registered a case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, in its complaint, stated that they have discovered the circulation of doctored videos on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. These videos, they claim, are spreading false information and have the potential to create division and disrupt public order. The ministry has requested legal action to be taken against those responsible for the spread of such content. They have also attached a report containing details of the links and handles through which the doctored videos of the Home Minister are being shared.
The controversy surrounding this doctored video has caused quite a stir, with many politicians and citizens expressing their concerns. The video in question seems to suggest that the BJP intends to annul reservation provisions for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes. However, it has been clarified that the Home Minister's statements were taken out of context and manipulated to create a false narrative. The Delhi Police are determined to get to the bottom of this issue and take appropriate action against those responsible for spreading misleading information.
