A collage with a couple of images is being shared on social media claiming that the girl who chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at Asaduddin Owaisi’s meeting last year participated in the ongoing farmers’ protests in Delhi. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: Amulya Leona, who chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at Asaduddin Owaisi’s meeting participated in the ongoing farmers’ protests in Delhi.
Fact: The first photo in the post shows Amulya Leona, the girl who chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti-CAA meeting held by AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi last year. But, the girl in the second photo is not Amulya Leona, but Valarmathi, a student activist from Tamil Nadu. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
This post shares two photos. Let’s find the details of each photo one by one.
Photo 1:
On reverse image search of the photo shared in the post, a similar photo is found in several news articles published in 2020. The girl in the photo mentioned as Amulya Leona Nanoha, a student activist from Karnataka. In an article published by BBC, it is reported that Amulya Leona chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at an anti-CAA meeting held at Bengaluru, Karnataka. News articles reporting this incident can be seen here, here, and here.
Photo 2:
On reverse image search of the photo shared in the post, we could not find many details about the photo. A user posted the same photo with a similar claim in the Tamil language. Responding to this tweet, another user mentioned that the girl in the second photo as Valarmathi, a native of Tamil Nadu.
When we searched for the details of Valarmathi, we found that she is a student activist from Tamil Nadu. Valarmathi posted the same photo on her Facebook page on 26 January 2021.
Valarmathi shared photos and videos of her participation in Delhi farmers’ protest on her Facebook page. They can be seen here and here.
To sum it up, this girl from the farmers’ protests is not Amulya Leona, who chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans at Owaisi’s meeting last year.
