Jasdan by-poll: Fake news alert
December 09, 2018
Jasdan: Dirty political games have started in connection with Jasdan assembly seat by-election in Gujarat. On Sunday, a Gujarati news channel, TV9 Gujarati issued clarification that an image in circulation on social media with channel’s logo is fake.
An image was created in fashion of breaking news headline on TV channel. Chief Minister of Gujarat Vijay Rupani was quoted in this image as saying, ‘none should teach us how to get votes. We don’t need the votes of Kshatriyas and Kolis.’
TV9 Gujarati channel head in his tweet clarified: Beware Jasdan by-election: Fake news in circulation on social media esp. Whatsapp & Facebook. It contains fake statement referring Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, pasted on BreakingNews template of TV9. Chief Minister office has asked police cyber team to look into the matter.

આ સમાચાર ખોટાં છે. કેટલાંક અસમાજિક તત્વો દ્વારા Tv9 ગુજરાતીના લોગોનો દુરઉપયોગ કરી ખોટાં સમાચાર/ ફેક ન્યૂઝ મુક્યા છે.
Tv9 દ્વારા આ પ્રકારના કોઈ પણ સમાચાર ચલાવવામાં આવ્યા નથી. જેની નોંધ લેશો #FakeNews #TV9News pic.twitter.com/OzF7PcH5it— Tv9 Gujarati (@tv9gujarati) December 9, 2018
Similar tricks were attempted even in the past by making fake screenshot of ABP Asmita Gujarati news channel in the past.
