A video that is doing rounds on social media shows Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laughing and chatting in front of a coffin wrapped in Tricolor.
The 16-second video claims that the CM is sitting beside a martyr’s coffin.
“योगी आदित्यनाथ जी आपके सामने जो शव है वो पुलवामा के शहिद का है, किस बात पर इतना खिलखिला रहे हैं ?” the caption read.
FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked this video, it turned out to be an authentic one. However, the claim accompanying the video is not true.
In 2018, Yogi Adityanath was found laughing during the funeral of the former UP CM ND Tiwari. Hence, the Indian flag.
ND Tiwari passed away on October 18, 2018, on his 93rd birthday.
This shows that though the video is real, the claim is incorrect. So, it should not be shared.
