Turkey issued a postage stamp but it was NOT EXCLUSIVELY for PM Modi; here’s the truth

Date:

A post is making rounds on social media which claims that a postage stamp has been issued by the Turkish government which is dedicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian national flag is on it with the text inscribed in the stamp at the bottom reads, “Narendra Modi Prime Minister of the Republic of India”.

The caption with the viral picture read:

“तुर्की ने टिकिट निकाल दिया हमारे यहां गाली देने से ही फुर्सत नहीं है

(Translation: Turkey has issued a ticket while here they don’t have time except to abuse)

Interestingly, official Twitter handle of BJP’s Assam unit also shared the picture recently with the same claims.
