Here's how a News channel shares a fake news based on a clipped video. It was later picked up and amplified by BJP members and Right wing Influencial accounts. Soon after it went viral, It was again picked up by other News channels which has it's own fact checking team. Thread 👇

@_ShivamBhatt

It was first shared by a reporter from Navbharat Times reporter @_ShivamBhatt ( When someone says it might be fake, He goes in to justify with his whataboutery). It was soon published by his channel @UPNBT

@sambitswaraj

NBT video was later picked up by BJP spokesperson @sambitswaraj and BJP member @ippatel @satyakumar_y and the local BJP MLA @BJP4Abhijeet

@BJP4Abhijeet

Local BJP MLA @BJP4Abhijeet later did a press conference based on the viral video.

@aajtak

The "News" was later covered by @aajtak @AsianetNewsHN @prabhatkhabar and Times of India

@OpIndia_com

How can Right Wing propaganda website @OpIndia_com hold back and not do a story based on fake news. 🤡🤡

Altnews got in touch with Bitur SP candidate Munindra Shukla who shared us the longer version of the video. It can clearly be heard that the supporters were saying "Maati chor bhagana hai" and not "Pakistan Banana hai".
They claim, 'Maati (Sand) chor' was in refrence to BJP MLA

It was also clarified by Kanpur Admin that there were no Pro Pakistan Slogans raised.

@IndiaToday

Oh wait! @IndiaToday fact checks @aajtak 🤭
BTW.

@AltNewsHindi

Here is @AltNewsHindi fact Check. Do read.

Thread 🧵
Video of a woman offering "namaz" in the collectorate premises in Hamirpur, UP, went viral a few days back. Soon after the video, as expected FIR was filed against the woman.

Soon after the video went viral, Police reached the spot and started 'investigation'. ADM filed a case against the woman for negligence in security. Meanwhile, policemen of the District Magistrate's office were suspended.

If you see the video, It is clear that the woman seen in the video is not offering Namaz as it should be, She was also seen offering 'Namaz' on steps. She was also seen hugging trees, A possible hint that the woman might be mentally challenged.

THREAD by @shinjineemjmdr

On Feb 23, Dhirendra Shastri, who has previously ‘prescribed’ gaumutra & haldi as a cure for cancer, laid the foundation for a ₹200cr cancer hospital. PM Modi attended the event & praised his ‘younger brother’ for his efforts in unifying Hindus.

Shastri’s fame spread through his 'miraculous abilities’ — claiming to heal the sick and read minds. He holds televised ‘Divya Durbars’ attended by large crowds, where he calls some attendees and diagnoses illnesses without medical tests, and performs other supposed ‘miracles’.

During a session, Dhirendra Shastri called a man and son on stage. As the father revealed his son’s cancer diagnosis, Shastri 'proved’ he had foreseen it by displaying pre-written notes. Claiming the child had blood cancer and jaundice, he 'prescribed' '50gm' gaumutra & haldi.

Very Important thread related to Sambhal.🧵
For the past 2 days several News channels and RW websites/influencers are running non stop propaganda about Sambhal Temple encroachment.
Fact : Temple keys were with Rastogi family. Listen to what Dharmendr Rastogi & his son have to say

Dharmendra Rastogi categorically denies all the false claims. He says Temple was open till 2006. There was no fear of Muslims or anyone. The keys of the temple were with Rastogi family, There was no encroachment around the temple. The room next to temple was also built by them.

Dharmendra Rastogi and his son says, There was never fear of local Muslims. He also debunks one more fake news about 'The encroachment' next to the temple, says Temple is as it was, There is no encroachment. The room next to the temple was built by them before they left in 2006.
