Photo Collected

Recently, I was not made an MP even after being assured. Now I understand it was a mistake to take to the streets in July.” captioned a photocard circulating on social media, quoting small screen actress Rukaiya Jahan Chamak.

Rumor scanner team found that actress Rukaiya Jahan Chamak did not make the discussed comment. In fact, what originated as a satirical post on a satire page has been promoted to claim real news.

In search of this, a photocard published on April 20 was found on a Facebook page named ‘Gupto Television’. This photocard is similar to the photocard in question. A look at the ‘Gupto Television’ page mentions in the bio of the page, ‘A satire and parody platform. All content is for entertainment purposes only. Our content is presented through humor, satire and parody, with the sole purpose of entertainment.’ (Translated) 

Also, checking the page reveals many more such satirical posts. From this it can be confirmed that the post in question is also mainly made as a satirical content.

Further investigation found no mention of such incidents in the mainstream media or reliable sources.

So, actress Chamak was not made an MP even after assuring me. Now I understand that it was a mistake to go down to Rajpath in July.’
