Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday said that lawful action had been taken on complaints against those who attempted to create tension in the society on the pretext of fact-checking.
Responding to a query from Rajya Sabha Member Manoj Kumar Jha of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), in an apparent reference to Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair, Mr. Thakur said: “It is also important to know who is the fact-checker and who is trying to create tension in the society under the garb of checking facts.”
