Viral Social Media Post on Religion and Politics Sparks Online Debate

New Delhi: A social media post by senior journalist Murti Nain has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), triggering widespread discussion online. In the post, the journalist uses a metaphor to comment on religion, politics, and society, prompting mixed reactions from social media users.

The post reads:

“It is said that the ash at the other end of a cigarette actually belongs to the smoker himself. The same is true of those who practice the politics of religion. On one side, society continues to smolder, while on the other, humanity gradually turns into smoke and haze.”

Along with the post, a video has also been shared in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seen speaking with another individual. The video carries the on-screen caption, “This is why he does not hold press conferences!” However, the post does not specify when the video was recorded, where it was filmed, or the context of the conversation. As a result, the video’s context could not be independently verified.

Following the post’s circulation, social media platforms have witnessed a wide range of reactions. While some users viewed it as a commentary on the intersection of religion and politics, others questioned the conclusions drawn in the post and called for the original context of the video to be made public.

At present, the claims made in the viral post and the context of the accompanying video have not been independently verified. Therefore, the content should be treated as a viral social media post, rather than as confirmed factual information.
