It has been two days since there was a security-lapse in PM’s visit to Punjab, where his convoy was stranded on a flyover for 20 minutes, because of protestors who came in trucks and tractors. While the Home Ministry has condemned this, asking the Punjab government for a detailed report, an old animated video with uncanny resemblance to the incident is going viral on social media.
The animated video, which is almost 1-year-old, dated 1st Dec, 2020, is titled ‘Fer Dekhange- Kissan Ekta Zindabad’, and was uploaded by a channel called Dhakka Gaming. The song featured in the background is ‘Bhaagi’ sung by Punjabi singer Simu Dhillon. This song was released in September last year, when the so-called farmer’s protest was at its peak.
The video goes something like this. It starts with an animated version of PM Modi, walking towards his convoy and getting in while two gunned men are guarding it. He starts along with his entourage. Next, the video focuses on another individual, having resemblances to rapper/singer Sidhu Moosewala, who has sympathised with the Khalistanis several times in the past. He gets onto a tractor and starts driving away, and is eventually followed by 2 more tractors.
Exactly at the middle of the video, when the convoy goes up a flyover, hundreds of civilian vehicles and thousands of public are seen waiting for his entourage. After this, the animated version of PM gets out of the car, in what looks like an attempt to negotiate, but the crowd starts running towards the PM, leading to the security personnel fleeing. The PM’s animated figure tries to strangle, but the public besiege him as he is cornered. Some of the public are holding sticks, and the PM sits on the road, surrounded by them.
This video has been shared by BJP leader Kapil Mishra, who claimed that the same thing appearing in the video in 2020, has actually happened in 2022. A number of netizens have been shocked because of the resemblance that the video which was released a year ago shares with the incident that actually took place 2 days ago.
YouTube पर एक साल पहले ये एनिमेटेड वीडियो खालिस्तानियों द्वारा डाला गया
इसमें मोदी जी को फ्लाईओवर के ऊपर नकली किसानों द्वारा रोककर, घेरकर मारने की कोशिश की जाती हैं
जैसा इस वीडियो में हैं, हूबहू वैसे ही पंजाब में करने की कोशिश की गई
This is serioushttps://t.co/MmY89xUxtl
