      Photo Of Aaditya Thackeray Poster In Urdu Shared With Misleading Claim

      A photo of a poster of Maharashtra cabinet minister Aaditya Thackeray in Urdu reading 'Salaam Worli' is being shared online with a misleading claim that the party is trying to appease the Muslim community.

      However, BOOM found that several posters of Thackeray were put up in different languages including - Gujarati, Marathi, and other south Indian languages during his campaign in Worli, Mumbai for the 2019 Maharashtra assembly election.

      The photo was tweeted by Shefali Vaidya - a right wing columnist, in Marathi with the caption when translated reads, "grandson of the monarch of the Hindu heart". BOOM has previously debunked misinformation tweeted by Vaidya.

      The caption with the photo reads, "From saffron to green, from Marathi to Urdu, from Shiv Sena to....!"
