Why unnecessarily defame Hindus? The Print columnist CJ Werleman shares fake video claiming Hindu men destroying Muslim Graveyard

Sharing fake messages, information and fake videos has as if become a new trend these days. More disturbing is to see it happening by the hands of renowned, heavily followed journalists. In yet another The Print expose story, Islamist-sympathiser and columnist with The Print, CJ Werleman happened to share an undated video on his Twitter profile claiming that a group of Hindu men desecrated and destroyed a Muslim Graveyard in Nathan, India. He wrote, “Hindutva radicals desecrate and destroy a Muslim graveyard in Nathan, India.”

 

 

Many Muslim twitter handles on September 1 were immediately seen sharing the video (probably without watching it) and demeaning the Hindu community overall. If carefully seen, the video shows an illegal majar being demolished by some Hindu activists with the cooperation of the administration. A couple of policemen can also be seen present at the spot. Isn't this enough to show the administrative support to vandalising the property in first place?

 

 

 

 

Further as per the reports, the claims made by CJ Werleman seem totally wrong as the incident is not from Nathan as claimed by him. According to the Kullu Police, under which Nathan village in Naggar Tehsil is located the video is not from the Kullu district and no such incident has taken place in the area. The video actually is from Nahan, the headquarters of Sirmaur District in Himachal Pradesh, and it does not show a Muslim Graveyard destroyed by ‘Hindutva radicals’ as claimed by Werleman.

 

 

The Municipal board had demolished the illegal majar with the cooperation of Hindu Jagran Manch members. This is after the reports stated that some unknown people had set up the illegal majar on government land near the Dr Y S Parmar Medical College in Nahan. Also Hindu Jagran Manch state secretary Manab Sharma said that some unknown people had gathered construction material to build the illegal majar in the night. After they informed the authorities about the same, the illegal construction was removed in the presence of administration and police officials.

 

 

This is not the first time Werleman has published a fake report to claim there is Islamophobia in India. On several occasions, he had made false allegations that the Indian government is suppressing Muslims. In August 2018, he took to Twitter to wrongly claim that the BJP had banned the slaughter of livestock during Eid. CJ Werlemen appears to have a particular grudge against Uttar Pradesh, probably because a saffron-clad monk is the Chief Minister of the state. In several tweets, he had mentioned Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as a ‘Hindutva terrorist’.
