News agency ANI shared screenshots of several politicians condoling Zakir Hussain's death. Almost every News Channel ran the fake news. They now say Official confirmation from family, hospital is still awaited. Isn't it your responsibility to first confirm from Family and then tweet?

No, Chandrababu govt has not abolished Waqf in Andhra; it only revoked a YSRCP-regime order - Alt News Several social media users have recently claimed the Chandrababu Naidu government in Andhra Pradesh has abolished Waqf Board. The claims have gone viral in the backdrop of the contentious Waqf...

Citing a misleading report by Times Now, BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya has claimed that the Andhra Pradesh govt abolished the Waqf Board. This is entirely FALSE. The Chandrababu govt has only revoked a YSRCP-regime order.
