Sharing the photo on Twitter, spokesman of BJP, Harsh Khurana, wrote, “You are distributing masks among children, children are wearing them too. But where is your and yours Manish Sisodia’s mask? You can do anything for a photograph @ArvindKejriwal sir. That’s why we call you advertiser @CMODelhi.”
And the truth of viral photo is:
If you will search the keywords related to the above viral photo on Google, then you will find a dozen videos posted on various YouTube channels.
According to the videos, due to the poor air quality in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia were distributing masks among the school students and CM also gave around 50 lakh masks to the people of Delhi. The year of video posting is 2019. And at that time there was no case reported of coronavirus in India.
From this video, it is clear that the photo is shared on social media with a misleading claim.
