Mumbai, October 27: A video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah is circulating online with a false claim that it shows the senior Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader expressing the desire for the saffronisation of the Indian Army. However, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check has confirmed the video is AI-generated.

“These days, I’m hearing nonsense on social media from Congress and Aam Aadmi Party people, who keep saying that the Indian Army is being ‘saffronised’ and that our army is becoming the army of a single party. I say this to the whole world, puffing out my 56-inch chest: the Indian Army is the army of Hindutva, it is the RSS’s army. It is not a Muslim’s army, not a Dalit’s army, not a Christian’s army. Whoever has a problem with the army should go to Pakistan. We consider our army to be the army of a Hindu state, and we firmly believe that,” Amit Shah can be heard saying in the deepfake video. Did Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai Say That Saffronisation of Indian Armed Forces Would Damage Morale of the Army?
