Explanation
India’s defeat against Pakistan in T20 2021 World Cup created outrage among social media users. The religious-based hatred posts against Mohammed Shami, an Indian bowler were spread all over India. And a few of the social media users oppose the hateful posts.
Mohamed Mujahith, a Facebook user’s Tamil post, “India’s defeat gives more happiness than Pakistan’s victory!”, has gained attention and condemnation. This post is being shared mentioning as an Indian Islamic person supports Pakistan and is asked to leave the country.
What is the Truth?
The Facebook account in the name of Mohamed Mujahith does not belong to India. His profile page and the comment section says that he is from Kattankudi, Sri Lanka.
The language section of his profile page can be seen as English, Sinhala and Tamil, and Sri Lankan address is mentioned in the contact info section.
He also has posted about the controversy raised against his post. The old posts also have a video on Pakistani player worshipping, the Sri Lankan team’s victory and so on.
Since the Facebook user posted as “India’s defeat gives more happiness than Pakistan’s victory”, in Tamil, a few of the social media users thought him to be from Tamil Nadu.
Conclusion
The Facebook user who posted as “India’s defeat gives more happiness than Pakistan’s victory”, in Tamil on his page is not an Indian Muslim but belongs to Sri Lanka. Since he posted the content in Tamil, it was mistaken as he is from India.
