A social media post alleges that Arvind Kejriwal, the National Convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Chief Minister of Delhi, stated that false accusations were made against Jharkhand Congress MP Dheeraj Sahu. Income Tax officials recently seized significant money from Sahu’s premises.
The purported statement reads, “धीरज साहू पर जूठा आरोप लगा कर फसाया जा रहा है, में पढ़ा लिखा आदमी हुँ, मैने भारत का संविधान पढ़ा है, घर में कैश नहीं रख सखते ऐसा किसी भी पन्ने पर नहीं लिखा है। – CM #ArvindKejriwal”
(English translation: Dheeraj Sahu is being framed by false allegations, I am an educated man, and I have read the Constitution of India, and it is not written on any page that one cannot keep cash at home. – CM #ArvindKejriwal)
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be FALSE.
A Google keyword search yielded no evidence of Arvind Kejriwal making a statement supporting Jharkhand Congress MP Deeraj Sahu. No official Twitter post or news articles reported such statements from Arvind Kejriwal.
Upon further investigation, we found that the alleged statement was tweeted by a parody Twitter account named ‘AAP Gujarat || Mission 2024 || Loksabha – Parody.’ The parody Twitter handle falsely attributed the statement to Arvind Kejriwal. However, it’s crucial to note that Kejriwal did not make any supportive statement regarding Deeraj Sahu.
The bio-section of the parody Twitter account ‘AAP Gujarat || Mission 2024 || Loksabha – Parody’ states it is not affiliated with any political party. Additionally, it emphasizes that the tweets shared on this account are intended solely for satirical purposes.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that a tweet posted by a parody account is falsely linked to Arvind Kejriwal.
