Old photograph<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alt News reverse searched the image on Google and found that it was taken in 2017. We found the same photograph in an article by The Hindu<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>published on April 17, 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the report, the people seen in the photograph are workers of the Indian Union Muslim League, a political outfit based in Kerala. The workers were celebrating a bypoll victory. By-election had taken place on the Malappuram Lok Sabha seat on April 12, 2017 in which IUML leader P N Kunhalikutty had emerged victorious.<\/p>\n

IUML flag different from flag of Pakistan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The IUML flag has often been passed off as the national flag of Pakistan. As recently as April 2019, IUML flags at Rahul Gandhi’s pre-nomination roadshow were falsely claimed<\/a> to be Pakistani flags.<\/p>\n

Both flags- IUML and Pakistan, are green in colour. The similarity however ends there. The two banners have been juxtaposed and posted below for comparison.<\/p>\n

An old photograph of a political rally, dating back to 2017 has been shared as a recent image, with the false claim that it represents celebration in Wayanad following Rahul Gandhi’s Lok Sabha victory from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
