You might have come across instances of some television channels trying to malign some individuals by running ‘out-of-context’ and ‘doctored’ video clips of their speeches. In the age of social media, common man too has learnt the art of fooling people by spreading edited video clips.

Om-PuriiiiiThis time an out-of-context video clip of a television interview of veteran Bollywood actor Om Puri has gone viral, wherein he claims that the entire world should accept Islam and there should not be any other religion.

The viral video comes to an abrupt end when the actor says that Islam is the biggest religion. The miscreants have carefully chopped the context of the speech.

In fact, Om Puri was trying to say that an impression has been created that Muslims are extremists and that they think that entire world should accept Islam and there should be no other religion. That is a false impression about Muslims, he added.

In the same interview, the actor also said that he is a non-practicing Hindu and he will not object if his some wants to become a Muslim.

Fake tweets

To support the out-of-context video claim, the miscreants also have created fake tweets of Om Puri, where he claims that he has embraced Islam. Photoshopped screen shots of such fake tweets also have gone viral on WhatsApp and other social media.

Om Puri has not yet lodged any compliant against the miscreants, who made him a ‘Muslim’ overnight.

Context or out of context. But it true.

Even scientists could not disagree.

Many scientists too embraced islam.

Quran speaks about science long years ago. This is definitely word of God.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that when COVID-19 has made life and livelihoods difficult, it is unfortunate that charges have been levelled of irregularities in the procurement of COVID-19 equipment.

"The Congress which has levelled charges against the ruling BJP has not so far filed a complaint with any investigating agency. Instead, the Congress has limited itself to getting publicity. On the other hand, the ruling BJP instead of coming clean by ordering a probe into the main charges is indirectly admitting the scam," Kumaraswamy said on Sunday.

"By washing dirty linen in public, both the Congress and the BJP are playing a cruel joke on people instead of protecting their lives," he said.

Hitting out at the BJP, he asked, "Why is it that the BJP is not ordering an investigation into the Rs 2,000 crore Covid 19 corruption charges levelled against the government by the Congress? Why is the government keeping quiet on the corruption charges?"

He said, "Is this the leadership provided by Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa? There could be political pressure on seeking resignation of his Ministers. But why has no action been initiated against any officers? Is there any effort to destroy the evidence by retaining officers in their existing postings?"

"Hunger for publicity is evident when we look at the press conference by five Ministers at a time," he said.

The government has countered the charges of the Congress but backtracked on ordering an investigation, he said.

"Would this not give rise to suspicion that the government is involved in the scam?" he asked.

He also asked why Congress leaders have not filed a complaint before any investigating agency despite "possessing documents to prove the charges".

"Are the Congress leaders trying to get publicity or are they concerned about the welfare of the people? The Congress Legislative Party leader is seeking an account (Lekka Kodi) while the BJP president is seeking answers (Uttara Kodi). Is it enough to give such questions and answers?"

Is there a concrete legal plan to deal with the irregularities? he asked.

"Looking at the way the Congress leaders have addressed media conferences and taken to social media campaigns, it appears that they are trying to get publicity," he said.

On Saturday, DCP Rohini Katoch Sepat conducted a special drive to ensure everybody is following the Covid rules.

"Conducted a special drive along with BBMP marshals, imposed fine for not wearing mask and social distancing," said Sepat.

The senior police officer had also sealed down some shops for not conforming to the social distancing directions.
