BJP MP shares old video of Muslims praying in congregation, says violation of lock down
Delhi Police clarifies "old video being circulated with malicious intent"
New Delhi: In the wake of fake news and rumors that have been spreading against a particular minority community, in the backdrop of Corona Virus, a BJP MP and former BJP General secretary of Delhi, Parvesh Sahib Singh, has tweeted an old video with caption adding that the Muslims in Delhi are violating the lockdown norms and regulations.
In the video, Muslims are offering congregational prayers. The MP in his caption asked if any of the religions of the world would permit such congregations in the time of pandemics like Corona Virus. He further alleged that the Muslims were violating the regulations of lockdown and social distancing.
He also called on Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal who was batting for increasing the salaries of Imams and scholars, and added that their salaries should instead be cut down after this video has surfaced.
The same video was shared by another twitter user on May 10 who had questioned Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia on their stand on the issue.
Interestingly Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi East’s official twitter handle had on May 11 clarified to the user that it was an old video “being used with a malicious intent to spread rumour” it had said while clarifying over the issue.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
