00:00Rahul Gandhi in Kerala was referring to the violence by SFI on his Wayanad office.
00:29The channel presented it in a manner, doctored it in a manner, so that it appears that he is talking about the killers of Kanhaiyalal.
01:00A particular channel ran a story at 9 o'clock the day before yesterday, in which they doctored a video where our leader Mr. Rahul Gandhi was referring to the violence by the SFI on his Wayanad office.
01:21But they twisted it and presented it and televised it in a manner that it looked like he was condoning or he was forgiving the killers of Kanhaiyalal in Udaipur.
01:32Most mischievous manner in which this channel ran this show. This was at 9 pm on the 1st of July.
01:41Within hours, in fact within maybe one hour, some of us on Twitter through social media warned that channel and that anchor that this is a doctored video, out of context video.
01:58By then a lot of BJP leaders had started sharing it on their social media. The channel accepted its mistake, withdrew the content from the social media.
02:12Yesterday they apologized, but the damage as I said was done. And more irresponsible than the channels are the elected representatives because they are under a constitutional oath.
02:26Very irresponsibly, very mischievously, somebody as senior in stature as the former INB minister Rajivardhan Rathod comes from my state unfortunately.
02:39Continued to share it, continued to upload it on his Twitter and others also in the BJP.
02:46This particular episode acquires a very serious dimension because this involves communal harmony of the country.
02:55You cannot aggravate passions by doctoring videos and provoking people, provoking communities.
03:06Rahul Gandhi in Kerala was referring to the violence by SFI on his Wayanad office.
03:16The channel presented it in a manner, doctored it in a manner so that it appears that he is talking about the killers of Kanhaiyalal.
03:27This FIR was registered against the channel, against the MPs and the senior leaders of the BJP.
03:34More action will follow, we will keep you informed. Bigger action because anybody who thinks that our decency is our shackle is sadly mistaken.
03:47It's our ornament and we are free to take that ornament off and take legal action, appropriate, strong, stern legal action.
03:55Gone are the days when we will continue to be decent because we have been watching the BJP, its IT cell.
04:03Enough is enough. We will remind you of your Rajdharm.
