Claim
Pakistan gifted a Turban to Navjot Singh Sidhu (With A Gifted Turban From Pakistan ???). The Facebook post can be accessed here.
Fact
The viral photo is photoshopped and the claim made on social media is false. BOOM found that the photo was originally taken by Press Trust of India, which was later morphed and uploaded on social media. Navjot Singh Sidhu had tweeted a video-clip from his Indore rally on May 11 this year where he had worn the same turban. The original photo does not have any crescent and star imprinted on the turban. Punjab’s chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh had also condemned the sharing of the unverified photo. BOOM had previously written an article debunking the fake image in July this year. Read below.
