      Video Of Boy Spitting On Flowers In Pakistan Peddled As Muslim Vendor Outside Temple
      CLAIMA viral video claims that an Indian Muslim flower seller spits on garlands outside a temple in India.
      FACT CHECKBOOM found that the viral video of a young boy spitting on flowers is from Pakistan. A vehicle number plate visible in the background further establishes that the video is not from India.

      A video from Pakistan of a young boy drinking water and then spitting it on garlands of flowers is being shared on social media with a false and communal claim that it shows an Indian Muslim flower seller outside a temple in India.

      In the viral video, a person sitting on a bike but not seen in the frame records a young boy drinking water from a plastic cup, after which he spits it out on small garlands he is holding in his hand.

      The 18 seconds video is being shared on X with false and communal spin with captions such as "Flower Jihad", and with communal claims accusing the Muslim community of spitting on flowers before selling them outside temples.

      The video was posted on X with the caption, "Be careful where you buy your pooja items and flowers from! Don’t just buy because you think you are helping ‘children’ vendors. Identify them before approaching. Have you already bought puja items from poor, peaceful M vendors, then see how they keep the flowers fresh. Despite knowing Hindus still buy from them. What a shameful lot we are"
