FACT CHECK

We fact-checked the viral message and found it to be FAKE.

We spoke to reliable government sources confirming that the viral message is FAKE and the government has not decided to declare ‘National Emergency’.

“The government is not declaring Emergency, the WhatsApp message in circulation is FAKE,” a government source told NewsMobile.

Meanwhile, Article 352 of the Indian Constitution lays down only two conditions that can lead to a national emergency. 1) External aggression and 2) Armed Rebellion.
