Fact Check

To verify the authenticity of the viral video, the DFRAC team conducted a search on Google and came across a report published by Millat Times. According to the report, the news of Shahi Imam Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari joining the BJP is false. The video in question shows the Imam attending a toilet construction program in front of the Jama Masjid, alongside BJP MP Harsh Vardhan. Moreover, Harsh Vardhan, the MP of the area, has constructed a Gusul Khana and toilets at the Jama Masjid using his own funds.
