True Or A Hoax: UP CM Yogi Adityanath Asks To Ban Pathan?
A video of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath requesting people to boycott Shah Rukh Khan’s film Pathaan has recently gone viral on the internet. In the video, Yogi says in Hindi,
“Some so-called left-minded artists and novelists have started making anti-national comments. One of them, unfortunately, is Shah Rukh Khan. This isn’t the first time this has happened. He has acted similarly in the past. Shah Rukh Khan should realise that if the majority community boycotts his films, he would be forced to walk the streets like a regular Muslim.”
Apart from that, he went on to equate the actor to Hafiz Saeed, the Mumbai attack mastermind.
According to India Today’s Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA), the statements made in the video are false. According to them, the now-viral video is almost seven years old.

Uttar Pradesh establishes the veracity of this allegation. According to the BCC report, the clips and notes in the video are dated November 3, 2015.

Finally, the conclusion is that the video was old Adityanath footage. It never intended for banning SRK’s Pathaan.
