The video is recent and shows Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal saying that the duo of PM Modi and Amit Shah will destroy Pakistan if voted to power.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The claim concerns a 19-second social-media video presented as showing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal say that Pakistan would not be safe if Narendra Modi and Amit Shah returned to power. The Quint traced the clip to a Facebook post shared by the page Namo, whose caption said Pakistan would be destroyed if the two were voted back to power. The review concludes that the clip alters Kejriwal’s words: “The video, shared by the Facebook page Namo” and “The claim is false; the video has been doctored to make it appear as though Kejriwal said \"Pakistan would be destroyed.\"” The review identifies the source setting as the United India rally in Kolkata and compares the viral clip with the original rally footage. In the original, Kejriwal says that if “these two” were voted back to power in 2019, “this country cannot be saved.” The article says the altered version substituted “Pakistan” for “ye desh” (“this country”): “The original footage from the Kolkata 'United India' rally – where Kejriwal was speaking – shows him say \"India would be destroyed if the duo was voted back to power\", not Pakistan” and “Clearly, in the 19-second video, the words 'ye desh' have been replaced with 'Pakistan'." The missing context matters: Kejriwal was warning about what he said would happen to India, not predicting Pakistan’s destruction. The article also reports that he accused the BJP of creating enmity and dividing the country, and criticized the Modi government over unemployment. Those remarks do not support the viral version of his statement; the decisive comparison is between the edited clip and the original rally footage.
