FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the viral video and found that the claim attached to the video is false.
On putting the keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search, we found that the above video is old and it was not shot after the scrapping of Article 370 (on August 5th, 2015)
We came across the same video on YouTube dated June 8th, 2015 in which Imran Khan got angry at the reporters during a press conference.

Hence, the video is four-year old when Imran Khan was not even the Prime Minister. Hence, the claim attached with the viral video is FAKE.
