A video of US President Donald Trump is going viral, with the claim that he is exposing an RSS conspiracy to stir an ethnic conflict in Arunachal Pradesh. According to this claim, the Indigenous Faith and Cultural Society of Arunachal Pradesh (IFCSAP), along with some others, might be sponsored by the RSS to lead the Arunachal Pradesh Freedom of Religion Act (AFRA), a law aimed at preventing forced religious conversions, in order to divide the Tani tribes for potential political gains in the future.
In the video, Trump is heard saying:
“Please hear this important message carefully and share this message to all the Tani tribes of Arunachal Pradesh. Well, now it is crystal clear that some of the big people from your Doni Polo community have received a very huge amount of money from RSS to brainwash and mislead all the remaining innocent indigenous Doni Polo believers to go against your Christian Tani brothers using this Afra Act. Please try to see what is really going on here.
Few of your Doni Polo followers have sold your indigenous faith, Doni Polo, to RSS for money. Now, your faith is under the control of RSS. They can now use your faith and its community wherever they think it benefits them politically. Do you think your forefathers and ancestors would be happy to see you, Doni brothers, go against each other on something influenced by outsiders like RSS? Just think about what your ancestors would do and say about all that is happening between the Tani brothers.”
He further adds:
“There are definitely some traders in the Doni Polo community selling your identity and faith to be used by RSS for political purposes, which is leading to a very big riot between your Tani brothers. If any war breaks out in the future, they would be sitting in their AC rooms comfortably, watching Tani brothers kill each other on the news, giggling inside, thinking they have succeeded in dividing the most unified and strongest indigenous people of Arunachal Pradesh, which is your Tani clan.
In the end, you will find that only the blood of Tani brothers was shed in the process and no one else. There is still time. Find out who among you are the traders that took money to help RSS divide your Tani brothers. I suggest you start your own movement of Doni Polo faith, which is the pure, original, and real indigenous faith of Doni Polo like your ancestors had in the old days. That way, you will get a hint of who the traders were among you.
Don’t just follow your leaders blindly—think and understand everything by yourselves. If you have not received any amount of money from RSS, then you are the true followers of the Doni Polo faith. I am sure that 98% of Doni Polo followers did not receive any money from RSS, and the remaining 2% are very influential personalities who got a really big amount of money to lead the rest of the innocent Doni Polo community in the direction made by RSS.
I want all the true followers of Doni Polo faith who have not received any money from RSS to gather together and kick these toxic influences out of the state. They are trying to spill the blood of your own Tani brothers for their own political gain using religion. This is not about religion but about politics using religion.”
