Why we say that›
Mani alleged a Congress-ISI plot. No proof of unverified Hindu IDs or framing plan for 26/11.
Mani's book and statements exist and claim a fixed match to push 'Hindu terror'. The rest adds unverified details that turn a partisan allegation into a specific conspiracy. Tukaram Omble did heroically stop Kasab from being shot dead. The core leap from one official's view to proven orchestration fails.
Mani's allegation of a Congress-ISI fixed match is real. Nothing establishes the specific props, alias, or deliberate framing plan as fact. These steps rest only on the same unproven claim.
The reel presents Mani's allegation as established fact without noting it remains a contested partisan claim with no corroboration from investigations or other officials.
