A post is being widely shared on social media claiming that 34 countries supported India and Nupur Sharma after her statement on Prophet Muhammad. Let us fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: 34 countries including Netherlands and Israel, supported India and Nupur Sharma after her comments on Prophet Muhammad.
Fact: There is no evidence to show that 34 countries including Netherlands and Israel had supported India and Nupur Sharma after her comments on Prophet Muhammad. However, Geert Wilders, a politician from Netherlands extended his support to Nupur Sharma. He has been actively tweeting his support to Nupur Sharma and India. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When we searched online about 34 countries supporting India and Nupur Sharma, we could not find anything. If such a thing had happened, it would have been reported by all the major news outlets, but they didn’t. In fact, such statements of support would come from official sources like spokespersons, ministries, etc. No such statement was found in any of the official channels of these countries on Twitter or other social media.
Nupur Sharma’s statements had outraged many Islamic countries, many condemning her statements. However, we could not find 34 countries supporting her statements.
Geert Wilders, a politician from Netherlands extended his support to Nupur Sharma. He has been actively tweeting his support to Nupur Sharma and India.
To sum it up, there is no evidence to state that 34 countries had supported India and Nupur Sharma after her comments on Prophet Muhammad.
