The claim
The video shows Arundhati Roy saying Kashmir is not an integral part of India at a Cockroach Janta Party protest at Jantar Mantar.
Original review summary
The video does not show Roy speaking at the CJP protest. FACTLY says it is from her speech at the “Azadi – The Only Way Ahead: Convention on Kashmir” at the LTG Auditorium in New Delhi on 21 October 2010, years before the CJP was formed.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the viral clip was identified through keyframes and a YouTube upload by Tehelka TV, whose description placed the speech at the 2010 convention and noted that the first few minutes were missing. [S1]
