Fact Check

The claim is misleading.

NewsMeter firstly performed a Google Reverse Image Search which directed us to a YouTube video aired on a channel Punjab Tak on September 0, 2021. At 10:36 minutes, we can see Rakesh Tikait addressing the Kisan Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar.

We found tweets by a few mainstream media outlets including Dainik Bhaskar, News 24 about the Kisan Mahapanchayat.

What the British did to anyone who stood for Indian unity, the BJP IT Cell now does to Rakesh Tikait.

He talks of unity amongst all religions. IT Cell cuts out "Allah hu Akbar" from this clip and circulates it all over trying to agitate Hindus!

It is therefore evident that the claim made through the viral post is misleading.
