Cheap tactics: BJP virals Abhinandan's fake picture during election
The viral picture itself gives away its falsehood
(Web Desk) – Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party BJP losing all sense of morality and ethics has resorted to cheap gimmicks to win over voters.
In a recent trick to secure an election win, BJP has made vrial a picture on social media of the IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthanam, who was captured in the dog fight saga over Pakistani territory by PAF, after India violated Pakistani airspace and tensions mounted between the archrivals this Feb.
The post showcases an Abhinandan twin, wearing the symbolic saffron scarf with BJP’s symbol ‘lotus,’ implying his vote was for BJP and message on the post reads.
‘Wing Commander Abhinandan ji has openly supported the BJP and even voted to make Modi ji Prime Minister, and he says there is no better Prime Minister than Modi at present, friends make this reach Jihadis and Congressis, you never brought back a jawan alive and today Abhinandan has returned alive and voted for BJP.’
The viral picture itself gives away its falsehood and the Indians are pointing out the deception of the political party.
According to media reports, first and foremost the Indian constitution does not allow serving armed forces personnel to be a part of political campaigns.
‘Under the Air Force Rules, 1969, IAF personnel are not permitted to take part in political activities.’
On closer inspection of the viral picture, one can easily decipher that someone is impersonating Abhinandan.
Despite the doppelganger wearing the handle bar moustache, a clear clue is the mole on the IAF pilot’s chin which is missing from the fibster posing as the pilot.
Secondly, the impersonator himself has a mole under his right eye which is not present on the real Abhinandan’s face. Social media has erupted with Indian citizens themselves exposing the forgery pointing out that this picture is taken in Gujrat while Abhinandan is registered to vote from Tamil Nadu.
