Claim
In the Tripura matter, the Congress (via its handle) used an expletive against an entire community (Hindus).
“कांग्रेस ने जो ये त्रिपुरा वाला मामला... एक पूरी कम्युनिटी को आप सी बोल रहे हैं। क्यों? किस लिए? क्या लाभ होगा?”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The underlying incident the anchor references is corroborated: on the eve of the broadcast, the Tripura Congress unit's verified Facebook handle posted Ram Mandir donation-row content whose caption used an abusive slur for Ram bhakts, drawing public outrage. The anchor's framing stretches the target from 'Ram devotees' to 'an entire community (Hindus)' — a generalization, though Ram devotees were attacked as a religious group. Confidence is moderate rather than high because coverage found as of the broadcast date comes essentially from one outlet (Republic World, a pro-government channel); no independent fact-checker (AltNews, BOOM, Factly, Newschecker, PIB) had verified or debunked the post, and the exact wording of the slur is not independently documented.
