Mumbai (Qamar Ansari): A video of some people taking out a rally with a convoy of vehicles is becoming increasingly viral on social media. The video is being shared and it is being claimed that it is from Mumbai. Where the Muslim community had taken out this rally to show its strength.

Mumbai Press in its investigation found that the viral claim is false. The viral video has no connection with India. Actually the viral video is from East Timor. When Pope Francis arrived in East Timor for a visit. Social media users are now sharing this video by linking it to the ‘Mumbai Chalo’ rally.

While sharing the viral video on September 23, 2024, Facebook user ‘Rakesh Singh Bhartiya’ wrote in the caption, “This is not Pakistan or Bangladesh! This is not Iraq, Iran or Afghanistan either! This is our Mumbai.. where Muslims have come out on the streets to show their strength. Keep sleeping Hindus.”

To know the truth of the viral claims, we shared them with Google reverse images. We found the viral video (archive link) on a Facebook page called Nigerian Catholics. The video was uploaded on 12 September 2024. According to available information, the viral video is from East Timor country.

We also found this video with the same information on Morocco’s X account.

Based on the information received, we searched on Google with the help of related keywords. We found a video report on the claim on the official YouTube channel of the Associated Press. The report was uploaded on 10 September 2024. According to the report, the viral video is of a visit by Pope Francis to East Timor. About 6 lakh people had gathered to see him. Pope Francis also took out a march with the people.

We found a report related to the viral claim on the Irish Times website. The report was published on 10 September 2024. There is a picture similar to the viral video in the report. According to reports, about half the population of East Timor came to see Pope Francis. About six lakh people attended his rally.

Like making a false video of the rally and trying to scare other communities by associating them with Muslims or spoiling the atmosphere of the city.

Now the question arises that what does Imtiaz Jalil and his team want to prove by making such false videos and false publicity.
