Old Video Of A Student Disrespecting The National Anthem Revived With False Claim

While the Congress-affiliated KSU had registered complaint against the student last year claiming he was a SFI member, viral post claims the student belongs to Congress

An old video of a student walking around recording a video on his mobile phone while the national anthem of India plays in the background has gone viral with a false caption.

The caption with the video reads, "A Jihadi student of Kerala making fun of our national song...look at the patriotism of Congress students in South India."

(Hindi: केरल के जिहादी छात्र हमारे राष्ट्रगान का मजाक उड़ा रहे हैं, .. देखें दक्षिण भारत में कांग्रेस के छात्रों की देशभक्ति..)

The post can be viewed here and its archived version can be accessed here.

The video clip shows a youngster laughing and walking around shooting other students on a mobile phone inside, what seems to be, a classroom. The other students, meanwhile, stand at attention as the national anthem plays in the background.
