FACT VERIFICATION THROUGH Logical Facts:

Claim

A news clip purportedly from Hindi news channel Aaj Tak is doing the rounds on social media. The clip suggested that prominent Muslim organizations including Jamaat-e-Islami and Raza Academypresented five major conditions to the leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition.

Fact

A video claiming that Muslim organisations, including Jamaat-e-Islami and Raza Academy, have submitted five demands to Maha Vikas Aghadi Coalition (MVA).— including a deputy minister post for a Muslim leader — is widely circulated on social media.

The video claimed that these organizations are seeking cabinet representation, waqf board reforms, madrassa support and reservations for Muslims in exchange for a fatwa in favor of MVA candidates.

Background and analysis

The video, for Hindi news channel Aaj Tak, has a news ticker about Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Varanasi in 2020. Investigators who reviewed the video noted that a ticker about Modi’s inauguration at Banaras Hindu University appeared in a report Aaj Tak no connection since January. 16. Furthermore, the font and style used in the video differs from the standard format of Aaj Tak, raising further doubts about its authenticity.

To investigate, the fact-checkers reviewed Aaj Tak’s official content and found no such report. Officials of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (Maharashtra) and Raza Academy also rejected the pleas before the MVA, insisting that no such plea was made.

On X (formerly Twitter), a user POSTED the video with a Hindi caption, “Listen to the conditions of Muslims that Maha Vikas Aghadi, Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar accepted, which the common man was not even informed about.” Similar statements can be seen Here, Hereand Here.

This video is also widely shared on Facebook with similar claims and can be seen Here, Here, Hereand Here.

Verdict

The video is confirmed to be fake. Neither Aaj Tak nor the named Muslim organizations made or reported these demands.

Result: FALSE
