MVS Films speaks to OpIndia after videos on train derailment Madarsa training triggers Islamo-Leftists to file police complaint

The police statement came after Islamists on social media started circulating several satirical videos created by MVS Films on current issues. In this case, the FIR was registered on the complaint lodged by Congress leader and National Convenor of “Volunteers against Hate” Meraj Hussain and one Mohammad Shadab Khan.

On the 23rd of December, the Buxar Police said that they have taken cognisance of the satirical videos of a Bihar-based YouTube channel “MVS Films”. In a statement issued on Monday, the SP office of Buxar Police said that they have received information about three video creators including a Buxar resident Ashish Pandey at MVS Films allegedly trying to “spoil” the communal atmosphere in the society by making “derogatory and objectionable” videos in Muslim attire. The police said that a team is being formed and the said information is being verified.

“On date- 22/12/2024, information was received on the Twitter handle/Facebook page of Buxar Police that a comedy channel named “MVS Films (@MVS Films)” is active on the social media platform, which makes comedy videos. The main member associated with this channel, Ashish Pandey, is probably said to be a resident of the Buxar district of Bihar, and his two other companions are trying to spoil the communal atmosphere in the society by making derogatory and objectionable videos in Muslim attire. Taking cognizance of the said information, on the instructions of Superintendent of Police Buxar. Under the leadership of Deputy Superintendent of Police cum Cyber ​​​​Station Head, Buxar. A team is being formed and the said information is being verified. It is requested not to post any kind of photo or video which can hurt religious or communal sentiments, doing so is a legal offence,” the Buxar Police statement reads.

The police statement came after Islamists on social media started circulating several satirical videos created by MVS Films on current issues. In this case, the FIR was registered on the complaint lodged by Congress leader and National Convenor of “Volunteers against Hate” Meraj Hussain and one Mohammad Shadab Khan.

One particular video titled “Madarsay me train palatnay ki training (Training in madarsas to derail the trains) on the radar of Islamists, shows a Muslim man near a railway track is asked why he is there, and he replies that he must board the train. A screwdriver then drops out of his pocket, and he flees, vowing to carry out “rail jihad” and shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

While the outraging Islamists deemed this video hateful and derogatory towards the Muslim community, a probe by NIA and UP ATS revealed that training on how to derail trains was being imparted in madarsas in Jhansi and Kanpur.

As OpIndia reported earlier, the security agencies revealed that students of the madarsas are being radicalised and instigated to derail trains. Moreover, the youths are also being trained on how to derail trains. As part of the probe, the agencies are conducting raids at various madarsas in the region. Such training is being imparted via online mode, and the probe teams recovered several videos. In the videos, radical Islamists are seen instigating youths to derail trains, and also instructing them on how to do the task.

It is pertinent to note that train sabotage incidents are on the rise in India and in August this year, a Pakistani Islamic terrorist Farhatullah Ghori called on his supporters encouraged his supporters to carry out large-scale train derailments in Delhi, Mumbai, and other Indian cities prompting Indian intelligence agencies to intensify investigation into train sabotage incidents.

In another video deemed ‘offensive’ by Islamists online, three Muslim persons are shown debating the claims of the existence of a Shiva temple underneath the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. According to one of the youths, when Islamic invaders arrived in India, they demolished temples and constructed mosques on top of them. Another Islamic skull cap-wearing youth says the Ajmer Dargah would fall under Hindu hegemony now that some Hindus have awakened and expressed fear over what would happen if all Hindus ‘woke up’.

Another video shows a Muslim man approaching two other Muslims and claiming that he has found how to live in India without being detected by “Kafirs.” The man tells them, “Our Rohingya brothers in Jharkhand have already set up a ‘Jamai tolly’; we will go there, capture Adivasi women, marry them, and become jamai (son-in-law).”

This video was based on the media reports about a Muslim man acknowledging the trend of marrying Adivasi women to buy land and contest polls surfaced on social media. The viral video was a snippet of an interview by e-Organiser journalists Subhi Vishwakarma and Azad Nishant with a Muslim resident of the Barhait Assembly constituency. In the video, the man is heard saying, “Barhait Vidhan Sabha, for instance, is a seat reserved for Scheduled Tribe (ST). You can contest any election from this. And this is why we marry Adivasis, with her consent, of course.”

“Not against the Muslim community, only against Jihadis”: MVS Films tells OpIndia

In conversation with OpIndia, Vivek Tiwary, one of the content creators at MVS Films talked about the viral videos which have triggered Islamists. Speaking about the “Rail Jihad” video, Vivek said that it was based on the revelations made by the NIA and UP ATS that a Madarsa in Jhansi was giving training to Muslim students to derail trains.

“Our video was created on the basis of the media reports on the findings of the NIA and UP ATS’s investigation. We showed how some Jihadis are trying to endanger the lives of people. We made this video only to spread awareness and we had no intention to target the entire Muslim community. Call it a problem or whatever, the Jihadis do dress up the way we showed in our video. We have to get into the character and thus we made the video and uploaded it on social media platforms,” Tiwary said.

He told OpIndia that MVS Films was being targeted after another satirical video on the premise of the recent Amit Shah-Ambedkar controversy was shared by the Bhartiya Janata Party on its official social media handles. Calling the Islamist outrage and targeting by the anti-BJP ecosystem a “side-effect” of their video against Congress’s alleged historical “disrespect” of Dr Ambedkar, Vivek Tiwary said that the opposition parties, particularly, Congress leader Meraj Hussain took it to heart.

Tiwary alleged that Hussain and his team deliberately distorted the narrative of the “Madarsa train derailment” video to claim that somehow MVS Films are spreading hatred against Muslims, are “anti-Muslim” and are trying to incite Hindu-Muslim riots. He added that contrary to the assertion made by Hussain and others that the said video hurts the sentiments of Muslims, “the sentiments of Jihadis only will be hurt by our video, not those of nationalist and patriot Muslims,” Tiwary said.

He told us that Buxar Police have summoned him and that sections have not been pressed against the MVS Films content creators yet. Tiwary further alleged that Rashtriya Janata Dal MLA Ajit Kushwaha and RJD MP Sudhakar Singh are exerting political pressure to get Tiwary and the two other content creators at MVS Films arrested at any cost.

“They (Islamists and anti-BJP elements) are targeting us due to ideological differences. We are artists and we have to get into the attire fitting the character we are going to portray. Even in Aamir Khan’s film PK, a man was shown as Bhagwan Shiva and tried to convey a certain message, were then the sentiments of Hindus hurt? But when we as actors portray a character to highlight the wrongs in Muslim society, we are instigating riots? But since we are small creators and not as big as Aamir Khan etc, we are being targeted,” Vivek said adding that the entire Islamo-leftist ecosystem is targeting them

Furthermore, Vivek told OpIndia that MVS Films is being massively targeted on social media and that he along with other creators on the YouTube channel is receiving abuse and death threats. Vivek said that someone messaged saying that he would be shot dead. In addition, Vivek said that MVS Films is receiving bulk emails to remove the video on Dr Ambedkar. He reiterated that none of the videos uploaded on the MVS Films YouTube channel are intended to offend the sentiments of any particular community but only spread awareness about the current socio-political issues.
