Two days before BJP workers clashed with police outside Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s house while protesting against an alleged denial of atrocities faced by Kashmiri Pandits, fact-checking website Alt News had clarified that a video clip used by BJP leaders to rake up the issue was misleading.
BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya had earlier shared a 15-second clip of the AAP chief’s speech in the Delhi assembly, where the latter had criticised the BJP’s support to the film The Kashmir Files. He claimed that the Delhi CM denied the atrocities faced by Kashmiri Pandits by terming the film a lie. Similar views were shared by several BJP leaders, including BJP leader Kapil Mishra and party spokesperson Gaurav Goel, besides a section of the media – News 18 Hindi managing editor Amish Devgan among them.
