Muslims offering Namaaz standing in knee-deep water over Ganga river video viral

News Claim: A video viral on social media sowing Muslims offering Namaaz over a river is being claimed that these people are planning to take over the Ganga river, where they are offering Namaaz.

Viral message on WhatsApp today & other Social Media: video of thousands of people offering namaz standing in knee-deep water has gone viral with the claim that Muslims are planning to capture lands by chanting Azaan in the river Ganges.

It is a plan of the Muslims to capture a secluded place by chanting azaan in the Ganges river. According to their plan, a temporary residence should be built on the banks of the river Ganges, later it will be converted into a permanent residence. Because the next battle of the world is for water. And by living on the banks of the Ganges, these Muslims will elevate Islam. I request all of you Hindu brothers that if you believe in Ram and Krishna, then consider this and please help me to make it viral. Because Hindus were ignorant of their diplomacy for centuries, but now the time has come to answer their code policies.

यह मुस्लिमोंकी एक योजना है कि एकान्त स्थान पर गंगा नदी में अज़ान लगा कर कब्जा किया जये। इनकी योजना के अनुसार गंगा नदी के किनारे किनारे पर अस्थाई निवास बनाये जाय बाद में यह स्थाई निवास में परिवर्तन कर दिया जायेगा। क्यों कि विश्व की अगली लड़ाई पानी के लिए होनी है। और यह गंगा के किनारे रह कर यह मुस्लिम इस्लाम को बुलन्द करेंगे। मेरी आप सभी हिन्दू भाइयों से विनती है कि अगर आप राम और कृष्ण को मानते हैं तो इस पर विचार करें और उसे वायरल करने मैं सहायता करने की कृपा करें । क्योंकि सदियों से इनकी कूटनीति से हिंदू अनभिज्ञ रहा परंतु अब समय आ गया है कि इनकी कूट नीतियों का जवाब दिया जाए

यह मुस्लिमोंकी एक योजना है कि एकान्त  स्थान पर गंगा नदी में अज़ान लगा कर कब्जा किया जये। इसलिये ये लोग  गंगा नदी के किनारे पर अस्थाई निवास बनाये जाय बाद में यह स्थाई निवास में परिवर्तन कर दिया जायेगा।और यह गंगा के किनारे रह कर यह मुस्लिम इस्लाम को बुलन्द करेंगे।
