It is clear that SP President Akhilesh Yadav's half-baked statement is being shared with misleading claims. Akhilesh not only named Jinnah, but also Sardar Patel, Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in his speech before Jinnah. However, names other than Jinnah were removed from the viral video clip.
