The farmers\u2019 agitation against the centre\u2019s agricultural laws took a new turn on July 22, when a group of demonstrators started a Kisan Sansad (Farmers\u2019 Parliament) at New Delhi\u2019s Jantar Mantar. Misinformation targeting the protest began circulating once again after the Kisan Sansad. A photo of a man in a turban carrying a packet of condoms in his kurta pocket started gathering a lot of traction on social media. Twitter user @Bhagwa_sherni22<\/a> posted the photo and wrote, “Here\u2019s a farmer walking around carrying protest-related documents in his pocket. Fake farmers\u2019 movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter user \u2018\u0939\u092e \u0932\u094b\u0917 We The People\u2019<\/a> also shared the image with the same claim. The handle has been known to spread misinformation<\/a> on several occasions in the past.<\/p>\n
