 "LS polls fact-checker: Photo of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wearing a cross is fake, digitally manipulated to give communal twist")
Lok Sabha Election 2019 Fact-checker:
Claim: A picture showed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wearing a cross pendant around her neck.
Fact: FAKE. The image has been digitally manipulated to morph the cross over the white pendant Priyanka was wearing during one of her rallies in Uttar Pradesh’s Raebareli in 2017.
***
A picture of Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra wearing a cross across her neck during a public rally had gone viral recently, with many social media users calling her out for ‘hypocrisy’ for wearing a Christian symbol while being a Hindu by birth. However, after doing a reverse Google image search , various fact-checking websites found the image to be morphed.
The original picture is credited to Getty Images and AFP and shows Priyanka wearing a normal pendant and not the cross, as depicted in the fake picture.
