News is a piece of information which is supposed to be \u2018current\u2019 and \u2018factual\u2019. On the contrary, this is a one and a half-year-old rumour which was quashed as fake when it first came up and became viral. Ironically, India Today&#8217;s website \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyo.in\/variety\/mad-saudi-fatwa-men-can-eat-their-wives-if-theyre-hungry\/story\/1\/7054.html\" target=\"_blank\">DailyO<\/a>\u2019 itself reported it to be fake back then on 29th October 2015. It was clearly reported on the DailO website that it was a fake fatwa which was going viral on social media. DailyO also stated that the &#8216;news&#8217; first appeared in a sarcastic column written by a satirst Moroccan blogger called &#8216;Israfel al-Maghribi&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/india-todays-aaj-tak-runs-fatwa-news-declared-fake-india-todays-dailyo-18-months-ago\/selection_13_04_2017_014\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1668\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-1024x691.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"432\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-696x470.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-1068x721.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/04\/Selection_13_04_2017_014-622x420.jpg 622w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, why is Aaj Tak running a one and a half-year-old fake rumour as \u2018current news\u2019? Is the intent to accumulate \u2018likes\u2019 on its Facebook page by publishing click-bait articles which tap into a certain anti-Muslim sentiment that pervades in their potential audience? Is Aaj Tak is trying to outrun the various teensy Whatsapp groups spreading communal hatred? This business of hatred in the name of journalism is not new, but the low it has reached in recent times, is not to be found in history.<\/p>\n<div class=\"important\">Article originally published in Hindi on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediavigil.com\/tv\/aaj-tak-propagate-islamophobia\/\" target=\"_blank\">Media Vigil<\/a>, translated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/saritasandilya\" target=\"_blank\">Sarita Tripathi<\/a>, edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/author\/pratik\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pratik Sinha<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we outrage about fake fatwas popularised by Sanghi websites, like the one against Rohit Sardana that never happened, how are our mainstream news websites any different?
