No, Donald Trump hasn’t fired ‘Desi Katta’ on the White House after the Ayodhya verdict. The image in the post is a photoshopped one.

A few Facebook users are sharing an image of ‘Aaj Tak’ news channel with its ‘Breaking News’ template carrying news that soon after the Ayodhya verdict, American President Donald Trump has fired ‘Desi Katta’ on the top of the White House and chanted ‘Jai Sri Ram’. Let’s try to analyze to what extent it is true.

Claim: After the Ayodhya verdict, American President Donald Trump has fired ‘Desi Katta’ on the top of the White House and chanted ‘Jai Sri Ram’.

Fact: The ‘Breaking News’ template of the ‘Aaj Tak’ news channel in the post is a photoshopped one. Also, information from no credible source was found which confirms that Donald Trump has celebrated the Ayodhya verdict by firing ‘Desi Katta’ on The White House. Hence the claim is FALSE.

In the post, the image had the ‘Breaking News’ template of AajTak news channel. So when searched on their YouTube channel if they have reported anything about Trump celebrating the Ayodhya verdict, no such reporting of them was found. When looked for their news videos aired during the Ayodhya verdict, many search results were obtained. In the image, when you observe the anchor and the background of the studio, a news video with similar visuals was found. In the video, it wasn’t reported anywhere that Trump had fired ‘Desi Katta’ on The White House after Ayodhya verdict. Also, when you compare the ‘Breaking News’ template in the video with the one in the image posted, there are many clues that suggest that the latter one might be a morphed image.  

When Twitter Advanced Search was performed on the accounts – ‘The White House’(@WhiteHouse), ‘President Trump’(@POTUS) and ‘Donald J. Trump’(@realDonaldTrump) to find information regarding Trump celebrating the Ayodhya verdict, no such information was found. When googled if there are any news reports of Trump celebrating Ayodhya verdict at The White House, they were none. If such an act was really done by Trump, it wouldn’t have gone unnoticed in the media. So, the ‘Breaking News’ template carrying such news about Trump celebrating the Ayodhya verdict is a photoshopped one.

To conclude, Donald Trump hasn’t fired ‘Desi Katta’ on the White House after Ayodhya verdict. The image in the post is a photoshopped one.
