Following Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 1, 2024, inviting PM Modi to the foundation stone-laying ceremony of Shri Kalki Dham in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal on February 19, 2024, a letter is being widely circulated on social media claiming that Acharya Pramod got suspended from the Congress.
A Facebook user posted the viral post with a caption: “आचार्य प्रमोद कि कांग्रेस से छुट्टी… (English translation: Acharya Pramod’s leave from Congress…”

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
We initiated our investigation by closely examining the letter circulating under the name of the All India Congress Volunteers Committee.
The indicated address on the letter was ’10, Downing Street, New Delhi,’ which indicates that the letter is fake. Additionally, we observed the absence of punctuation marks, poor grammar, and the absence of any signatures in the letter.
Here is a comparison of the viral letter and the original press release by the Congress party.
Furthermore, the letterhead is linked to the ‘All India Congress Volunteers Committee.’ Subsequently, we cross-referenced this information with their X profile, where we discovered the same letter being shared on their account.
The handle also mocked the people who called them fake.
Speaking to NewsMobile, the secretary of Acharya Pramod, Rishabh Dubey, said that the viral letter was fake. He further stated that ‘Congress has not provided any suspension to Acharya Pramod.’
Therefore, we can conclusively state that the viral letter of Acharya Pramod’s suspension is FAKE.
