How did two conmen take the whole world for a ride for many days?

           

 Two conmen- Prateek Sinha and Mohammad Zubair- should be complimented for having spread the false news that both of them have been shortlisted for Nobel Peace Prize and many believed them. They also got some congratulatory messages from the echo system of which they have been the part and parcel. The mockery is that they claimed to be awarded for running a fact-checking portal called Alt news, which is more known for the notoriety of peddling fake news. It was this portal which was responsible for creating an atmosphere of communal frenzy in India. These Johnnies were successful in ploughing the hate campaign against a BJP leader, which had resulted in an all-India chorus for ‘tan se juda’ slogan by a section of a community.

  It is said that rumours have no legs but only wings. By the time, the truth is known the rumours already get caused enough damage. It would have been most incredible fiction, even if the names of these liars had been remotely thought of conferring any award, what to say of the Nobel peace prize to them. However, these so-called fact-checkers, instead of finding the reality thought it fit to take the gullible people for the ride not only in India but across the whole world.  The wonder of the wonder was that a so-called journalist of an American journal was also found to be in cahoot with these un-worthies in giving false publicity to them.

  Look at the audacity and the notoriety of these rumour mongers that they gave publicity to themselves for being thought of for the Nobel Peace Prize, which is arguably the top award in the world. Thus, they have proved that they have immense potential to make incalculable damage to the country with the active support of inimical forces, which have no hesitation in spreading absolutely false, baseless and concocted stories about India.  

 They might not be able to get any awards but the amount of publicity which they have got by sheer dint of ugly and false publicity will definitely help them in getting good funds from some organisations, which have been working overtime to paint India with black colours. It is only these organisations which have been coming out with dubious data and dismal reports about education, poverty, or human rights in India. These anti-India organisations normally put the country at the bottom of their fictitious indexes. Therefore, people must have to be on guard not to believe them blindly without getting properly verified.
