      Picture Showing ABVP Assam Members Protested Against NRC, CAA Is Morphed

      An image claiming to show members of the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad the student wing of Bhartiya Janata Party held a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, is morphed and fake.

      The banner in the fake image has been doctored to read, "we don't support NRC, CAB, CAA. Modi go back. Takla Amit go back." The photo has also been doctored to add the hashtag #ABVPAssam.

      The fake image is viral on Twitter and Facebook with different captions.

      Fact Check

      The fake image has a watermark of the Facebook page 'West Bong' from where the image appears to have originated.

      The page has now edited the text of its post to claim the image was posted as a meme. Click here to view an archive.

      BOOM ran a reverse image search and found that the original photograph was clicked by photojournalist Ancela Jamindar for Ahmedabad Mirror.

      'Over 500 members of the BJP students' wing turned up at Sabarmati ashram in the support of the CAA, counter negative propaganda,' Ahmedabad Mirror's article reads:

      The article was published on December 19, 2019.
