Foolproof: The viral claim is false. The BJP YouTube handle is dated February 24, 2016, in which the same footage can be seen. According to the video, Smirti Irani was responding to the criticism of the government over its handling of the events at JNU by stating that “anti-national” events had taken place at the campus.
Smriti Irani was talking about the pamphlet which was allegedly distributed in JNU on February 10, 2016. The pamphlet talked about Mahishasura and Goddess Durga. It means Smriti Irani was reading the pamphlet which was distributed in JNU.

Foolproof: The viral claim is false. The person in the video is Acharya Prashant, who belongs to the Hindu community. The tweet was by user @SurajitDasgupta.
Acharya Prashant tweeted the same video on his Twitter. According to the translated caption, “The Quran teaches terror.”. What have you learned from the Vedas? Don’t be afraid to fight. “
Acharya Prashant stated after the video went viral, denying the viral claim. He wrote, “Before copy-pasting and forwarding anything from WhatsApp University, check it and then forward it. In the video, I am explaining that focus on yourself and not on Muslims, and still, they have found a Muslim in me. It is amazing. “

SP Kaur said, “There is no communal angle behind the incident.” It is purely a matter of some affected people breaking the dyke. She also promised to take action against those spreading “flood jihad” rumours on social media.
