Using the methods mentioned in another blog below, it was possible to fact-check the following fakes from one WhatsApp Group!
#1
Nehru was slapped .. false narratives associated with a real photo from AP archives
There is a concerted campaign by BJP that the true history, particularly facts about Nehru, have been so far hidden from public. There are many fake narratives and incidents doing the round of social media. Here are some of them (there are dozens more)
So many canards about Nehru …

Gehlot said electricity generation drains energy from water … This is a truncated clip in which Gehlot is quoting what Jansangh propaganda was ..

Sonia has no sense of protocol. Sonia Gandhi has ‘insulted’ Dr Singh by walking ahead of him and asking him – ‘the prime minister’ – to take just another seat next to her, while she takes the seat next to the Sri Lankan PM.. false narrative associated with a real photo/clip ..
#5
Rahul has no sense of protocol.. this is the Congress culture…senior Congress leader Motilal Vohra touched Rahul Gandhi’s feet before assuming charge as the new Congress president .. Singh Deo has a habit of touching the feet of senior leaders as he himself admits but the more important fact is that Rahul prevented him from touching his feet when he attempted to do so on the dais .. this can be seen in the video clip of the same event..
28 sec clip that confirms what Singh Deo described – Rahul stood up and tried to stop Sing Deo touching his feet at the same event;
#6
Priyanka wanted to stay in the Lutyens bungalow she was evicted from…
#7 Pranab Mukherjee falsely quoted from his book before it was released. BFFs are busy pushing the false propaganda that Sonia has no sense of protocol.
About the editor of Postcard News and the support it enjoys from BJP leaders…
More photos of the same event at Vigyan Bhawan. Have you visited the Parliament, isn’t the photo not clear? The author of the fake news is a bit overenthusiastic or has Mukherjee really written about the incident with such a glaring error? Mukherjee’s office has already issued a clarification that the referred book does not cover the period in which the event took place (Nov’16).

#8 Rahul Gandhi’s speech at OBC sammelan at Delhi Talkotra Stadium 12-Jun-18 truncated and circulated on social media. In this video at 15 min:25 seconds, Rahul starts to describe his interaction with OBC BJP MPs belonging to BJP who complain that they have been fooled and side-lined – he is quoting what they told him!
#9 Shabana Azmi calls out a fake post attributed to her. Kangana Ranaut’s response also fake..

#13 Modi’s promise to get back black money stashed abroad and distribute certain % to salaried class was one; the second promise was that if we succeed in getting all the illicit money recovered from crooks then it would be sufficient for every individual to get 15 to 20 lacs rupees. So, Mr. Modi had made an implied conditional promise and not a straight promise to deposit 15 lacs in everyone’s account. But Amit Shah described his promise as a jumla.
#14 Mr. Modi did a superb job of controlling deaths due to Corona pandemic; he surpassed the performance of 87 PMs and Presidents put together! False meme viral on WhatsApp. GOI’s own estimate is 5.2 lac deaths, and not 2.46 lac as depicted in the meme, due to CoVid-19 up to 30th April 2022. WHO’S estimate of EXCESS DEATHS January 2020 through December 2021, is 4.7 MILLION!!
#15 Nehru wrote to British PM that Subhash Chandra Bose was a war criminal. This is a claim made by his steno – there is no evidence of such a letter signed by Nehru.
#16 Priyanka Gandhi’s tweet morphed and made viral .. about her favourite story of Nehru. This is in really cheap taste but consistent with BJP standards. What is interesting is PM Modi, retweeted this tweet. It shows the application of mind by the PM. Anyone should recognise this to be a fake tweet but not Mr. Modi who is fond of insulting Nehru and Gandhis. All bhakts are merrily circulating this tweet that insinuates Nehru slept with someone else’s wife!!
