What FACTLY found
The viral video is not associated with the BJP. It dates back to 2007 and originates from Pakistan. The audio of the original video has been altered to include ‘Jai Shree Ram’ slogans and is being shared to spread misinformation. According to reports, the individuals in the footage are identified as Yousaf Raza Gilani and Sherry Rehman of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), and the incident took place during a rally in 2007
