Nishu Yadav of the Samajwadi Party also made the same claim while tweeting the image. (<\/span>Archived link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

We noticed that the graphic had an ABP News watermark. We checked the Instagram account of the news outlet and found the original image on the ABP News Instagram handle <\/span>dated February 16<\/span><\/a>. The caption of the post mentions that a German company named ‘Cannamedical’ is looking for a professional to test medical products made from hemp. This news was also <\/span>published<\/span><\/a> on the website of ABP News on February 16.<\/span><\/p>\n

This was also shared by the Twitter handle of the National Post.<\/span><\/p>\n
