LAHORE: Facebook and Twitter posts share a video they claim shows women chanting blasphemous slogans during the women’s day march on March 8. The claim, however, is false: the misleading video clip has been inaccurately subtitled; in the original footage published by the event’s official organisers, no blasphemous slogans were chanted. The alleged chants “Allah should also listen, freedom” and “Auliya’s (saints) should also listen, freedom” are also inaccurate. The women were in fact chanting “Mullah should also listen, freedom” and “Orya should also listen, freedom”. At no point are any chants invoking Allah or the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) heard during the original footage.
