An image of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi with veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi is doing the rounds on social media, claiming that Owaisi was recently honoured by Joshi.
The post reads: वरिष्ठ भाजपा नेता के हाथों असदुद्दीन ओवैसी को सम्मानित कराया जा रहा है। इतना काफ़ी है यह बताने के लिये कि…’ये रिश्ता क्या कहलाता है…? (English translation: Asaduddin Owaisi is being felicitated by a senior BJP leader. It is enough to tell that…’What is this relationship called…?)
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be misleading.
We found a video on the YouTube channel of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), where we could see similar visuals. The video description reads: Asaduddin Owaisi has been awarded Best Parliamentarian of the Year – Lok Sabha by Lokmat Parliamentary Awards 2022.
The same video was also uploaded on the YouTube channel of Lokmat Hindi on March 14, 2023. In the video, former President Ram Nath Kovind can be seen giving the ‘Best Parliamentarian 2022’ award to Asaduddin Owaisi.
After taking the award, Owisi can be seen shaking hands with Kovind and Murli Manohar Joshi, who was also present on the stage.
Hence, it is clear that image has gone viral with misleading claims.
