Claim: Procession following Congress victory in Telangana during which individuals replaced the Ashoka Chakra on the tricolor with Islamic phrases .
Fact-check: Old visuals of protest over Nupur Sharma's comments against Prophet Mohammed Erroneously linked to Congress Victory in Telangana Elections - FACTLY
Verdict: the video in question actually captures a protest by the muslim community in june 2022 in mahbubnagar, telangana, reacting to remarks made by the suspended bjp spokesperson nupur sharma against prophet mohammed. various news agencies reported on this footage at that time; however, none of these reports linked the protests to the congress party. importantly, the video is unrelated to the recently concluded telangana elections, where the congress emerged victorious. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
