A letter claimed to be written by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing the rounds<\/a> on social media. It urges citizens to buy only India-made products on Diwali which falls in November this year. The letter carries the signature of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alt News has also received verification requests on WhatsApp (+91 76000 11160).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Facebook user ‘Harsh Rajpoot Guro Bjp’<\/a> shared the purported letter on the Facebook group ‘\u0939\u092e \u0935\u0943\u0902\u0926\u093e\u0935\u0928 \u0935\u093e\u0932\u0947 \u092c\u093f\u0939\u093e\u0930\u0940 \u091c\u0940 \u0915\u0946 \u0926\u093f\u0935\u093e\u0928\u0946’ on September 2 last year, drawing close to 400 likes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was shared against the backdrop of Prime Minister Modi calling for an aatmanirbhar\u00a0<\/em>or ‘self-reliant’ India<\/a> during an address on the COVID-19 crisis back in May 2020. During Independence Day celebrations<\/a> last year, he reiterated that India must produce for domestic as well as global needs.<\/p>\n

Several others on Facebook also shared<\/a> the letter claiming that PM Modi has urged citizens to purchase country-made firecrackers, sweets and decorative items.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Viral since 2014<\/h4>\n

The same letter, however, on a different letter paper has been floating online since PM Modi took office in 2014. We found that former Haryana transport minister Krishan Lal Panwar<\/a> had shared the viral letter on Facebook in 2016.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several users had sent Alt News requests to fact-check this letter on its official mobile application<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h4>\n

Alt News had debunked this letter in 2019. A Yandex search of the letter led us to a 2016 tweet by the official handle of the Prime Minister\u2019s office. This is an old fake letter circulating with the PM\u2019s \u2018signature\u2019. PMO clarified that such documents floating on social media are not authentic. This letter was earlier debunked by ABP News<\/a> in October 2016.<\/p>\n

Few appeals with PM\u2019s \u2018signature\u2019 are circulated on social media. Such documents are not authentic. pic.twitter.com\/9AOcvHStFu<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 PMO India (@PMOIndia) August 31, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, as seen in the image below, the line spacing and the alignment of the text is inconsistent in the document circulated on social media, which is highly unlikely coming from the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PM Modi’s file signature is available<\/a> on the web, hence it is easy to superimpose his signature on documents using photo manipulation software. Hence documents, which even though look authentic with the PM’s official signature, should be subjected to further scrutiny.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, an appeal to buy and promote \u2018made-in-India\u2019 products on Diwali was falsely attributed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by manufacturing a fake letter with his \u2018signature\u2019.<\/p>\n
