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.

Taking to Twitter, Shivakumar wrote, "I appeal to Congress workers not to make defamatory statements against any political leader, on matters of health and other issues on social media platforms. It is not in our culture to wish bad for others. Congress is a party that exemplifies brotherhood and humanity."

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.
