The clipping is being shared in the wake of a Dalit woman allegedly raped<\/a> by upper-caste men in UP’s Hathras.<\/p>\n

Journalist-turned-film director, Avinash Das had tweeted<\/a> the same clipping in 2018 drawing close to 1400 retweets and 3,900 likes.<\/p>\n

The statement attributed to Adityanath is viral on Facebook <\/a>and Twitter<\/a> at least since April 2018.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Originated from a satirical website<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is unlikely that such a statement made by a Chief Minister would go unreported in the mainstream media. We couldn\u2019t find any credible news report ascribing the statement to Adityanath.<\/p>\n

Alt News found that the claim originated from a now-deleted website, Rhumor Times<\/a>. The statement attributed to Yogi Adityanath first appeared in an article published by the website on April 10, 2018. The archived version of this article can be accessed<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em>The ‘About Us’ section of the website explicitly mentioned, “rhumor times is a satire and humor website. the website publishes rumor with humor.”\u00a0

\"\"<\/em><\/p>\n

Social media users should be circumspect while circulating statements attributed to politicians or celebrities without verifying the credibility of the source. In the past as well, a fake newspaper clipping<\/a> was circulated on social media ascribing a quote to Amit Shah calling the Baniya community ‘thieves’ and ‘cheaters’. Fake quotes have also been attributed to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat<\/a>, AAP leader Raghav Chadda<\/a> and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
