“Rakesh Tikait raising ‘Allah Hu Akbar’ slogans at public meeting.”
What FACTLY found
The video, dates back to 5 September 2021, features live coverage of the Kisan Maha Panchayat event held in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. In the footage, Rakesh Tikait is seen chanting “Allah Hu Akbar.” However, this chant, which has been used since his father’s time, is part of a combined slogan: “Allah Hu Akbar and Har Har Mahadev.” While Tikait is heard saying “Allah Hu Akbar,” the crowd responds with “Har Har Mahadev.” This combined slogan is intended to symbolize unity.
