Is this man in the video Mohan Yadav who is warning the Muslims against the pro-Pakistan slogan? Know the truth

After the recent Madhya Pradesh election result, Mohan Yadav was appointed as the new Chief Minister of the state. He took his oath on 13 December and held a press conference right after the ceremony. 

Against this backdrop, a video of a person is going viral on social media. The person can be heard warning the Muslims against the pro-Pakistan slogans in the country. In the video, the person is saying, “The incident of Ujjain has come to the fore.We already said that there is no objection to offering Namaz, no restriction on fasting. If you want to take out a rally on Muharram, then also we have no objection. But you all need to understand one thing that this is Hindustan and all have to work according to the constitution framed by Baba Shaheb Ambedkar. If the Pakistan Zindabad slogan will be raised in the land of India then you will be crushed and legal actions will be taken. We want to say to Mullahs and Maulvis that you do Namaz and give religious teachings but also tell them that this is India. When this country is Hindustan then should the slogan of Hindustan Zindabad be raised?”

Sharing this video, social media users are claiming that the person in the video is newly appointed Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav. 

However, Fact Crescendo found the claim to be false. The person in the video is not Mohan Yadav but Madhya Pradesh’s BJP leader Rameshwar Sharma.
