Reports of multiple incidents of Hindi-speaking migrant labourers allegedly being attacked in Tamil Nadu have flooded social media in the past few days. Alt News has already fact-checked<\/a> five such claims made on the basis of videos and shown that the viral clips are not related to any such attack.<\/p>\n

In this context, a purported newspaper clipping of Dainik Jagran is widely circulating on social media. The clip is dated March 2. The headline says Hindi-speaking labourers are being killed in Tamil Nadu. It also says that Tamil natives have asked Hindi speakers to vacate the state before March 20. It has a photo of Tamil Nadu chief minister M K Stalin. The text says that Stalin has asked Hindi-speaking migrant workers to leave and that the Tamil Nadu government won’t be responsible for whatever happens to them if they don’t.<\/p>\n

It also has a photo of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. There is a quote where he requests workers to return to UP and says that the state will provide employment to them as a number of deaths have occurred in Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n

Below we have provided the newspaper cutting.<\/p>\n
