FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found the claim attached with the picture to be misleading.
On closely analysing the ticker in the screenshot, we came to the conclusion that it is from the time when JNU students were protesting against fees hike and the administration had rolled back hike.
As it can be seen that the screengrab is of news channel TV9 Bharatvarsh, we did a search using relevant keywords such as ‘TV9 Bharatvarsh’, ‘JNU’, ‘Fee Hike’, ‘Aishe Ghosh’. We found the video from which the viral screenshot was extracted, on the official Twitter handle of TV9 Bharatvarsh dated November 19th, 2019.
