The minister was reportedly at Garwal hills last evening when the video was taken. The minister thrashes about with the shrub, apparently making no difference to the blaze but pressing on nevertheless. Then the camera angle changes and the forest fire is no longer visible. Only Mr Rawat is seen, still going at the flames and producing sparks in the process.
