A video is doing the rounds on social media, claiming that Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari, Shahi Imam of Delhi’s Jama Masjid, has joined BJP.
The post reads: शाही इमाम बुखारी ने बीजेपी ज्वॉइन कर ली (English translation: Shahi Imam Bukhari joined BJP)
Here is the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be false.
We found a video of the same event on the official Twitter handle of Dr. Harsh Vardhan. The video is shared with a caption: आदरणीय शाही इमाम बुखारी साहब, आपके ये शब्द मेरे लिए किसी आशीर्वाद से कम नहीं। आपके इन्हीं शब्दों से मुझे क्षेत्रवासियों की अविरत सेवा करने का बल मिलता है। जामा मस्जिद का क्षेत्र तो मेरे मन में रचा-बसा है। इसके आस-पास ही मेरा बचपन बीता है। @BJP4Delhi #JamaMasjid (English translation: Respected Shahi Imam Bukhari Sahib, your words are no less than a blessing for me. Your words give me the strength to continue serving the people of the area. The area of Jama Masjid is fixed in my mind. My childhood was spent around this area. @BJP4Delhi #JamaMasjid)
Another tweet has also mentioned the event at the foundation stone of the toilet near Gate No. 01 of Delhi’s Jama Masjid.
Hence, it could be concluded that the viral video’s claim is misleading.
