No, Video of People Raising Pro-BJP Slogans Not From Balochistan
The QuintThe video begins with the women joining in for a celebratory chant. On listening closely, the group can be heard saying: “सोफी साहब कदम बढ़ाओ, हम तुम्हारे साथ हैं; नरेंद्र भाई कदम बढ़ाओ, हम तुम्हारे साथ हैं” Taking cue from the name “Sofi” and the word “BJP”, The Quint ran a search with the two keywords. The results show that the people in the video were sloganeering for Mr Sofi Yousuf, the state vice president of BJP for Jammu and Kashmir, who is also the party’s Lok Sabha candidate from Anatnag in Kashmir. The Quint searched with the keywords: “Sofi”, “Kashmir” and “BJP”. The search led us to a video put up by Fast Kashmir where it was clearly stated that the video was of BJP Candidate Sofi Yousuf filing for nomination in South Kashmir's Anantnag.
