      Morphed Photo Shared As Smriti Irani Watching Rahul Gandhis Bharat Jodo Yatra

      BOOM found that the image is digitally manipulated. The original photograph dates back to December 2020 and does not feature Rahul Gandhi on Irani's laptop screen as shown.

      On September 7 the Indian National Congress launched its nationwide foot march campaign called the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' (Uniting India Rally) in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. The party said that the objective of the rally is to 'ensure that the concerns and demands of the people reach Delhi'; The rally will end in Srinagar. During the march participants including Rahul Gandhi will walk through several states, Read here.

      The Hindi caption with the photo translates to, "Keeping a close eye on Rahul Gandhi in Bharat Jodo Yatra".
