    Fact check: Telangana collectorate inauguration was attended by Hindu, Muslim & Christian priests

    A video is being shared widely on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter in which a group of people are seen standing next to a man who appears to be a Maulvi (cleric) reciting verses. It has been claimed that a cleric was reciting religious verses at the inauguration of the Collector's office in Telangana. Twitter user 'Hum Log We The People' tweeted this video with a similar claim. The user wrote, "Has Telangana become India's first Islamic state?" The tweet garnered more than 23,000 views as of this writing. (Archived link)

    Fact Check

    Alt News performed a keyword search to gather more information about the video. This led us to a video report dated June 4, 2023 by 'T News Telugu' titled, "CM KCR felicitates Nirmal Collector, KCR inaugurates Integrated Nirmal Collectorate". Nirmal is a district in Telangana.

    In this six-minute video report, scenes from the viral video appear at the 1:38 mark. It is seen in the video that the Maulvi is reciting Kalma. A Christian priest can also be seen reciting something after the 2:52 mark.

    Alt News also spotted Hindu priests in several frames of the video, which we have indicated with a red arrow in the following images:

    Upon further investigation, Alt News found a YouTube video of Telangana chief minister's office. The video, which is about 39-minute long, also covers the inauguration of the integrated collectorate of Nirmal district by the chief minister of Telangana. In this video, after the 9:53 mark, chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and some priests are also seen together. Nirmal district collector Kranti Varun Reddy is also present.

    In this video report, after the 10:33 mark, the worshipers perform aarti for 3 minutes and 34 seconds with Hindu customs. Later, at the 13:49 mark, District Collector Varun Reddy sits on the chair and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao greets him. In this video, after the 15:22 mark, the cleric recites Kalima and at the 16:38 mark, the priest offers prayers, just like in the viral video.

    Alt News also found a tweet from the collector of Nirmal district, dated June 4. He tweeted pictures of the inauguration ceremony. In some of these pictures, he is also seen with a Hindu priest.

    — Collector Nirmal (@Collector_NML) June 4, 2023

    To sum up, a video of the inauguration of the integrated collectorate of Telangana's Nirmal district was shared on social media with the misleading claim that a Maulvi recited Kalma at the function. However, in reality, the inauguration ceremony was attended by priests of Hindu, Muslim and Christian faith.
