BJP leader CTR Ravi shared a video of a group of women doing Sankeertane at an airport while they were waiting to board their flight to Ayodhya. Several women seemed to have joined in the singing and this was done peacefully without causing disturbance to any other people there.

Alleged fact-checker Mohammed Zubair soon came to grab the spotlight and posted a comment on the video. He wrote, “According to BJP supporters, It’s a Public nuisance if a Muslim reads Namaz in some corner in the park or in an isolated place. But here”

Netizens School The Alleged Fact-Checker
Netizens called out the hypocrisy of Zubair and pointed out to him that the women were doing this without causing any disturbance to others, not obstructing movement.
Corner, park, isolated place 🤔, be a less hypocrite and liar 🙄
Truth is known to all, but still the regular victimhood card to show others down 🤷♂️.
56 Islamic nations but do people pray on roads anywhere ? But only in non islamic nations such scenes are visible, so if… pic.twitter.com/GjDT45KBoP

Hindus are spiritual and so they just just chants Bhajan-Kirtan like any songs which never ever disturbed anyone as it creates positive environment.
If Muslims offer Namaz(Prayer) in some corner is a false statement.
In the middle of the road it happens.👇See pic.twitter.com/AGEY59qAZq— Ajaykumar Mishra (@AM_AjayMishra) February 5, 2024
See poor innocent Muslims children reading Namaz, and foolish vehicles are in the middle of the roads; all of them are Sanghi vehicles https://t.co/AJivTI9ndO pic.twitter.com/yLAzR5sPe4

Some also pointed out that Muslims have prayer rooms allocated for their prayers and Hindus are not given even that space.
In Airports we have prayer rooms, mainly for MUSLIMS, not for Hindus fyi… how can you miss this Fact???? Coz you are a first class Hate Monger !! pic.twitter.com/Sefq1HsZTv

Others even called out the false comparison – namaz is done 5 times a day while a bhajan, or kirtan is sung only rarely and is not something that Hindus do on a daily/regular basis.
This is a false binary – first, offering Namaaz and singing bhajans is not the same thing. Secondly, these people aren't taking-up space beyond what they're meant to. If anyone feels inconvenienced by their singing, he/she can put in a complaint and get them to lower their voice… https://t.co/O9Oh41QGHT

He/She is literally comparing one time activity with something which happens 5 times everyday. https://t.co/WzzbinRUCw

Some other netizens called him out for the incorrect “fact” he mentioned. Muslims never did namaz in the “corner of a park”; there are several instances of them occupying the entire road and blocking traffic!
According to madarasa students this is what a corner in the park and an isolated area means. https://t.co/j29ig1WUHs pic.twitter.com/CCGfXLep7u

Some others even called him out saying Hindus do not bomb buildings!
Neither they are blocking anyone's way nor they do have a history of blowing Bombs.
Finally, this is soothing to our ears and not jarring at all. https://t.co/7bI48SDjso

mamaz in public can be a call to osis terrorist to bomb the place https://t.co/Z3Wazo0cug
