Fact Check: Old Video From UP Shared As Delhi Government Schools Being Converted Into Madrassa

Date:

A video showing a group of police personnel entering a classroom full of people has gone viral on social media. It is claimed that Delhi Government schools are being converted into Madrassas.

The caption reads: यह है केजरीवाल का दिल्ली स्कूल मॉडल जिनसे सेकुलर हिंदुओं को लगता है कि केजरीवाल अच्छा काम कर रहा है वह देख लीजिए दिल्ली के सरकारी स्कूलों को केजरीवाल ने मदरसे में बदलना शुरू कर दिया है दिल्ली के विजय नगर का एक सरकारी स्कूल है यह स्कूल में कलमा, उर्दू पढ़ने की इजाजत दी है केजरीवाल ने या उनके बिधायको और सरकार का समर्थन है अब हिंदुओं को तय करना है कि इन जिहादी सोच वाले अरविंद केजरीवाल की पार्टी के साथ क्या करना चाहिए (English translation: This is Kejriwal’s Delhi school model, from which secular Hindus feel that Kejriwal is doing a good job, see that Kejriwal has started converting Delhi’s government schools into madrassas. There is a government school in Delhi’s Vijay Nagar. Kejriwal has given permission to read Urdu just to gain support for his MLAs and government, now Hindus have to decide what to do with these Jihadi thinking Arvind Kejriwal’s party)

Here’s the link to the above post.

FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.

Searching further, we found another Facebook post, dated November 19, 2021, carrying the same viral video with a caption in Hindi, which is translated to English: “Today, in front of Sanjeevani Hospital in Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad, some Muslim Jihadis were reading nawaz by making meat in the primary school. Our team caught him red-handed and handed him over to the police.”

We also found a Facebook live video that carried a clearer version of the viral video.

At 1:13 mark, one can notice “Primary School Ghaziabad” written on one of the walls.

Checking on Google Maps, we found that Primary School in Mirzapur is, indeed, located in Ghaziabad and it comes under Vijay Nagar. 

We also found a YouTube video, dated November 20, 2021, showing visuals similar to the viral video, with the description: “The primary school of Bhud Bharat Nagar, Mirzapur, Ghaziabad, became a hotbed of objectionable Islamic activities. The party of meat-biryani was going on in the primary school on the holidays of Dev Deepawali, Gangasnan and Guruparb. Also found objectionable literature. Apart from men, there was a large gathering of women and children.” 

There was no credible media report corroborating the viral claim. Thus, it is evident from the above information that a video from Uttar Pradesh is falsely shared as Delhi government schools are being converted into Madrassas.
