Several personnel on both sides of the border were reported injured in the <\/span>clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers<\/span><\/a> on December 9 in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh.

Against this backdrop, Union minister and BJP MP from Arunachal (West) Kiren Rijiju tweeted a picture posing with Indian Army soldiers. The accompanying caption read, ‘Yangtse area in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh is fully secured now due to adequate deployment of the brave jawans of Indian Army.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Several media outlets carried this image, claiming that the Union minister had visited the Yangtze region in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, to meet Indian troops following the December 9 Indo-Chinese skirmish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

India Today Group’s Hindi channel Aaj Tak aired the picture in a news bulletin, claiming that Rijiju was the first to reach Tawang after the clash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/h4>\n

Alt News noticed that several Twitter users replied to the minister’s tweet in question, pointing out that this was an old photo. Among them was Congress leader Supriya Shrinate, who tweeted a screenshot in response and wrote, “You shouldn\u2019t have included a photo from 2019.\u201d The screenshot clearly shows that Rijiju had tweeted the same image on October 29, 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Supriya Shrinate (@SupriyaShrinate) December 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On searching Twitter, we found that Rijiju had indeed shared the same photo on October 29, 2019. In this tweet, he wrote that he was celebrating the auspicious occasion of Diwali with the Arunachal Scouts of the Indian Army. It is worth noting that in 2019, Diwali fell on October 28 and 29.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014 Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) October 29, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To sum it up, it is clear that Union minister Kiren Rijiju tweeted a three-year-old picture falsely linking it to the recent skirmish in the Yangtze region of Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. The photo was carried by a number of media outlets without verification, who claimed that the photo was taken after the recent clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers on December 9. Alt News can’t independently confirm whether the Union minister visited Tawang after the December 9 clash.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
