Notably, Reetam Singh’s arrest came after he had posted a doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and claimed that the BJP if voted to power will end reservations for SC, ST and OBCs in India.
This comes after the Delhi Police registered a case on Sunday following a complaint by the Ministry of Home Affairs in connection with the doctored videos of Union Home Minister Amit Shah being circulated on social media platforms.
Home MInister Amit Shah said, "Rahul Gandhi is deceiving people by telling baseless lies. The Bharatiya Janata Party has been in power in this country for 10 years, forming a government with full majority both times. If the BJP intended to abolish reservations, it would have done so already. Narendra Modi has assured all Dalits, backward classes, and tribal sisters and brothers across the nation that as long as the BJP is in power, no one will touch reservations.”
Addressing the Vijay Sankalp Mahasammelan, Amit Shah said, "You gave us a full majority in 2014 and 2019, we used the majority to abolish 370, build the temple at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, implement CAA and give 33% reservation to women in Lok Sabha and Assemblies."
