FACT CHECK

NewsMobile fact-checked the posts and found them to be false.

Firstly, we searched for the Twitter handle named @YashwantSinhaa and found there is no Twitter handle with this name.

Secondly, we found Yashwant Sinha’s real Twitter handle @YashwantSinha and this is what we found:

  1. The original Twitter handle of the former Union Minister has a blue tick, i.e, it’s a verified account.
  2. The real account has one ‘a’ in Sinha, while two ‘a’s’ have been used in the in the viral tweet handle.

Using the Twitter advanced search, we were not able to find the tweet from the viral account in circulation.

Hence, from the above information, it is clear that the tweet in circulation doesn’t exist and is being falsely attributed to Yashwant Sinha.
