The state Health minister, who was allegedly involved in an obscene video chat, has clarified that the video was “fake and edited.” The BJP demanded his resignation and a probe into the matter, while the Congress minister claimed that the video was part of a conspiracy to tarnish his image. The minister has filed an FIR in the matter and stated that he would take legal action against those behind the fake video. The BJP spokesperson in Jharkhand stated that if the video was genuine, the minister should step down immediately, and the chief minister should order a probe to find out the truth.
The viral video purportedly showing the Health minister is highly objectionable. Though the veracity of the clip hasn’t been ascertained as yet, we want to know if it’s real or fake. Since he is a member of the state cabinet headed by the chief minister (Hemant Soren), it is the CM’s responsibility to order a probe to find out if the clip is real or fake,” Shahdeo said.
Pratul Shahdeo, the spokesperson for the BJP in Jharkhand, has called for a probe to ascertain the authenticity of the video clip allegedly showing the state Health minister in a compromising position. He has demanded the chief minister to order an investigation into the matter and to clarify the Congress party’s position on the “obscene and objectionable” video. If the clip is found to be genuine, Shahdeo has called for the immediate resignation of the minister.
