Explanation
A video showing a man saying that his name is Javed Hussain is viral on social media. He is seen saying “In this Haridwar, there are no Hindus, there are only Muslims. Allah made this river, Muhammad made this. Brahmins are dogs”. When he is questioned by the person recording the video if he knows Hindi Dharam he answers no to it.
Then the questioning person asks, “Will you hear such words when someone speaks about your religion(Islam) in front of you?” to which the man says, “No, I will slap him.”Then the questioning person says, “In Hindu dharam, I don’t do, and for your age, I won’t do”. The man appears to have been drunk.
