As can be seen in the picture of the above Facebook post, Banerjee and Shah are jointly holding what appears to be a white envelope with the words ‘Jai Shri Ram’ written on it. A majority of these posts are in Bengali, and they mock the Bengal CM over her supposed ‘hypocrisy’.<\/p>\n

Alt News received the same image on its official app, for verification.<\/p>\n

FACT CHECK: PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The photograph of Mamata Banerjee and Amit Shah together, is photoshopped. This was confirmed by a simple reverse image search on Google, which revealed the original photograph. The image pertains to a most recent meeting between the two leaders, on September 18. Mamata Banerjee had visited Amit Shah at his office in New Delhi, to discuss the controversial National Register for Citizens (NRC) exercise.<\/p>\n

\"\"As can be seen in the above image posted in a News18<\/a><\/em> article, there does not seem to be any text on the envelope, unlike the words ‘Jai Shri Ram’ inscribed in the photoshopped image. The two pictures- photoshopped and original, are juxtaposed and posted below for comparison.<\/p>\n

A video report of the meeting, broadcast by NDTV<\/em>, is posted below.<\/p>\n
