Two leaders from the Samajwadi Party have received summons in relation to a video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah that was edited. Lalji Varma, the SP candidate from Ambedkar Nagar, was served notice and was questioned initially. Varma believes that this is a deliberate attempt to prevent him from filing his nomination and running in the election from Ambedkar Nagar. He also mentioned the recent incident in Surat and expressed his concern that such tactics may be used elsewhere. Varma pointed out that the Delhi Police acted swiftly, filing the case on April 28 and showing up at his house within 24 hours. However, he remains undeterred by these actions and plans to respond to the notice.
Varma's trouble stems from his post of the edited video on his X account. Another leader from the SP, Manoj Kaka, has also been summoned by the Delhi Police. He has been asked to appear in person on May 2. Kaka, who is a party spokesperson, stated that he will request for more time from the police as his father is currently hospitalized in Varanasi. Kaka had also shared the controversial video on his social media platform but claims to have deleted it as soon as he found out that it had been edited.
Varma and Kaka are not the only ones facing consequences for sharing the edited video. The Delhi Police has also summoned other individuals who shared the video on social media. The police have stated that they are taking these actions in response to a complaint filed against the edited video, which allegedly distorted Shah's speech. The controversy surrounding this video has caused a stir in the political arena, with leaders from various parties giving their opinions on the matter. The SP has accused the Delhi Police of acting quickly and targeting their leaders, while the BJP has defended the police's actions, claiming that they are only doing their duty. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to stand by their statements and await further developments.
