Union Minister Kiren Rijiju Slams Congress for Sharing Doctored Video of Home Minister Amit Shah

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, on April 29, criticized the Indian National Congress for sharing a doctored video of Home Minister Amit Shah on social media.

Rijiju took to Twitter to condemn the Congress, sharing a split-screen video juxtaposing the fake and original versions. He wrote, “Shame on Congress Party. I strongly condemn Congress for spreading a fake & edited video. Home Minister @AmitShah ji’s words have been twisted. Misleading the public is a disservice to democracy. This irresponsible behavior has the potential to disrupt peace.”

He underscored that distorting Shah’s words misleads the public and undermines democracy, cautioning about the potential to disturb peace.

Earlier, Delhi Police initiated legal action by filing an FIR against the circulation of altered videos. The Ministry of Home Affairs backed the complaint, leading to the Special Cell of the Delhi Police registering the FIR under relevant sections of the IPC and IT Act. Nationwide arrests are anticipated in connection with the case.
