Amish Devgan tries to school Ranveer Allahbadia, Mohammed Zubair asks: “Who's more dangerous?”
New Delhi: Fact-checker Mohammed Zubair has called out News18 anchor Amish Devgan for his communal rhetoric amid the controversy surrounding YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, after Amish Devgan tried to school Allahbadia for his remarks that have sparked a controversy.
In a viral video, Allahbadia was seen asking a contestant on Samay Raina’s YouTube show India’s Got Latent, “Watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?" The remark sparked outrage, leading to police complaints and political condemnation. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar criticised Allahbadia, with Wadettiwar questioning why PM Narendra Modi had honoured him with a National Creators Award before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
As the backlash grew, Amish Devgan, known for his aggressive TV debates, criticised Allahbadia’s remarks. However, Zubair responded by highlighting Devgan’s own history of divisive rhetoric, sharing a collage of his past debates on "Love Jihad," "Hijab Controversy," and "Tablighi Jamaat." Zubair’s post questioned why a YouTubers comments were being scrutinised while a prime-time news anchor with corporate backing openly peddled communal narratives.
Sharing the images of thumbnails, Zubair wrote: "Look who's giving moral gyan to a youtuber. A Pro-BJP news anchor of News Channel owned by the richest man in India. The anchor who for years has been indulging in a non stop Hindu-Muslim Propaganda debates on news channels. Here are a few feature images of youtube links to his Hindu-Muslim debates by him. Tell me who's more dangerous? Who's dividing the society? Who's videos are more harmful to the society?”
