A viral video alleging that ISIS flags were present at a Congress rally in Akola has been debunked, revealing the flags were actually related to Milad-un-Nabi celebrations.

A viral video circulated on social media claims to show flags of ISIS and other Islamic groups at a Congress election rally in Akola, Maharashtra. This footage has sparked significant controversy and concern, particularly in the context of the upcoming Maharashtra elections, where communal tensions are often heightened.

Claim

The claim asserts that the video depicts flags associated with ISIS, Palestine, Iran, and Hezbollah being displayed at a Congress leader Sajid Khan Mastan Khan’s election rally in Akola West. This assertion suggests a troubling association between the Congress party and extremist groups, which has been widely shared online.

Fact

The fact-check conducted by Boom Live reveals that the viral video does not show ISIS flags being raised at the rally.

This clarification is supported by multiple sources, including:

  1. Boom Live.
  2. NewsMeter.
  3. ETV Bharat.
