Fact Check

During our investigation, we first decided to scrutinize the official Twitter account of the Additional Directorate General of Public Information for the Indian Army. In the course of this examination, we stumbled upon a tweet dated September 19, 2023. In this tweet, the ADG PI shared a screenshot of a post made by Parkash Kumar Bheel, also known as Dalit Official, and promptly addressed the matter. They unequivocally clarified that the claims made by Parkash Kumar Bheel were entirely baseless and false.

In their official tweet, the Additional Directorate General of Public Information sternly stated that misleading and counterfeit messages were being disseminated across social media platforms by individuals with ulterior motives, aiming to spread rumors and sow seeds of hatred. Their message resonated as a cautionary call, urging everyone to remain vigilant and exercise discernment in the face of such deceptive news.

Continuing our investigation, we stumbled upon yet another significant tweet, this time by PIB Fact Check, dated September 19, 2023. In a powerful response to the controversial post made by Parkash Kumar Bheel, also recognized as Dalit Official, PIB Fact Check swiftly moved to debunk the claims put forth. Their statement left no room for ambiguity as they emphatically asserted that the assertions made by Parkash Kumar Bheel were entirely unfounded and had been shared with a clear intent—to create disharmony.

PIB Fact Check went further to clarify that no such decisions, as alluded to in the contentious post, had been taken by the concerned authorities.

Hence, all these points prove that the sensational claim asserting the replacement of Sikh security personnel at Rashtrapati Bhavan in India, stemming from the discontent within the Sikh community due to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s speech on alleged Indian government involvement in the assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh, is unequivocally false.
