Yusha, an engineer turned journalist with a core interest in sensible journalism. Since the time she worked in an MNC, she saw how fake news was rife to malign images of communities, leaders, etc. This encouraged her to give up her career in MNC and passionately work towards curbing fake news and propaganda.
An old video of protest outside Election Commission's office in Delhi shared with misleading claims of AAP protesting outside CM Arvind Kejriwal's residence after his house arrest.
In context to the house arrest of Kejriwal, a video is viral on social media in which Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, Raghav Chadhdha and other AAP party members are sitting on a protest and sloganeering, "जब जब मोदी डरता है पुलिस को आगे करता है,जब जब BJP डरती है पुलिस को आगे करती है, हार के डर से गुंडागर्दी नहीं चलेगी नहीं चलेगी." (Which translates in English as, "Whenever Modi is scared he puts police forward, whenever BJP feels scared they put police forward, we won't tolerate hooliganism caused due to their fear of losing"). Many people on social media are sharing the video with the context that the senior leaders of AAP party are protesting against the Modi government after Arvind Kejriwal is claimed to be under house arrest.
