Claim: UP Government has ordered to count the arms licenses held by the Brahmins in the state
Fact-check: UP Govt asked for data on Brahmins with arms licenses in August 2020 but retracted the request later - FACTLY
Verdict: on august 2020, bjp mla devmani dwivedi sent a note to up assembly principal secretary pradeep dubey seeking information on security plans for brahmins in the state. regarding this, the home department sent a letter to the district magistrates on 18 august 2020 to send the data on the number of arms licenses issued to brahmins. however, this request was retracted shortly later. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
