Amen!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>OpIndia published a story around the alleged tweet in both <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/save\/https:\/\/www.opindia.com\/2021\/02\/caralisa-monteiro-fake-news-peddler-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">English<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.opindia.com\/reports\/caralisa-monteiro-gets-orgasmic-pleasure-after-hindus-are-murdered-viral-tweet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hindi<\/a>. The story, apart from taking personal digs, attempts to show how Monteiro herself is a &#8216;fake news peddler&#8217;.
