BOOM noticed logo - Mushaira News - in the left hand corner of the viral video and found the original video on YouTube uploaded by a channel of the same name.
In the original clip dated June 20, 2016, one can hear Khan narrate a few lines questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi about spiritual guru Ravishankar's statement, 'Pakistan Zindabad' should go hand in hand with 'Jai Hind' in a bid to promote unity between the two countries.
Ravishankar had in March 2016 at the World Culture Festival at the Yamuna floodplains in New Delhi had said that, "Jai Hind and Pakistan Zindabad" should go together for peace and development in the region," after Pakistan’s Mufti Muhammad Saeed Khan finished his speech.
He later tried to backtrack on his statement, after the hashtag #SendSriSriToPakistan started trending on Twitter.
At the 2.41.24 seconds mark, Khan says, "I want to ask Modiji that today on the banks of Yamuna, Sri Ravi Shankar raised the slogan of 'Pakistan Zindabad', in presence of Rajnath Singh. Will he be prosecuted for sedition?" (In Hindi - मैं पूछना चाहता हूँ मोदी जी से की आज यमुना के किनारे दिल्ली में श्री श्री रविशंकर ने पाकिस्तान ज़िंदाबाद [के नारे] लगाए वो [भी] राजनाथ सिंह की मौजूदगी में, उनपर देश द्रोह का मुकदमा चलेगा या नहीं |)
BOOM found that the first part of Khan's sentence refering to Ravishankar's statement has been removed and edited to give the impression that Khan sloganeered 'Pakistan Zindabad'.
