Fact-check
On carefully listening to the speech, we found that Amanatullah Khan is saying ‘Zaria’ (way) and not Sharia. At 45 seconds in the speech, he can be heard saying, “Allah is the one writing it, isn’t it? Allah has decided who will become the king, Allah has decided who will win. Allah has decided who will be shamed. Allah has decided who will have respect. That is under Allah’s jurisdiction, under the jurisdiction of revenge, it crushes everything. What status do we have? Everything is of Allah and Allah has decided the oppressors will fall, this will end. The oppression that did, their persecution will end, Inshallah from Okhla, from Jamia. Inshallah, we will become, it begins from somewhere. Today, Shaheen has awakened the world. Inshallah.”
In the video, a logo which reads, ‘Breaking News’ can be seen. With a relevant search on YouTube, we found a six-minute long video on a YouTube channel called, “Breaking News Express”. The title of the video, posted on February 2. reads, “AMANULLAH KHAN, JAMIA MLA, WARNS ABOUT CAA, NRC & NPR”. The viral portion of the video begins after 3 minutes.
Thus, Sambit Patra’s claim that Amanatullah Khan was talking about Sharia law, is false. Moreover, the sentence “We will become Sharia” doesn’t make sense. One cannot ‘become’ Sharia or Shariat which is the religious law in Islam dictating social, religious, political, economic, cultural rules of living.
Video viral with false claim
The video is viral on Twitter and was subsequently shared by BJP National Secretary Y Sathya with a claim that he is talking about creating Sharia.
Film director Vivek Agnihotri quote-tweeted Sambit Patra and said, “Natural speech, We will finish the oppressors, we will become Sharia – AAP Amanatullah Khan”.
