J&K Deputy CM Condemns Distorted Viral Video, Seeks Action
Imagine someone made a short video of two leaders talking and changed it to make it look silly.
One leader, Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary, got upset about this.
He explained in a meeting that the other leader, Minister Sakina Itoo, tied a special bracelet on his wrist as a sign of respect, like a sister would.
But, some people twisted this kind gesture into something else for social media.
The Deputy CM said this was wrong and asked for the people who made and shared the video to be punished, maybe by deleting their social media accounts and facing legal trouble.
Other leaders agreed that using social media to make politicians look bad is a big problem.
The leader of the meeting promised to look into it and take action.
Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary condemned a distorted social media video.
Choudhary stated that Minister Sakina Itoo tied a Rakhi on him as a mark of respect and brotherhood.
He urged for strict action, including deletion of Facebook accounts and legal measures, against those responsible for the video.
Several members supported the Deputy CM, highlighting the growing concern of social media misuse against legislators.
The Speaker assured that the issue would be investigated and appropriate measures taken.
