A video of several people spray painting over Hindi texts on signboards is being circulated on the internet as recent visuals from Tamil Nadu following the swearing-in ceremony of Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay.
What did users say?: Those sharing the video have uploaded it with a caption that said, “Anti-Hindi Hate started in TamilNadu after Swearing-in of TVK Vijay. This is the only thing they knew & call BJP a communal party (sic).”
What’s the truth?: The video could be traced back to at least March of this year, which predates the formation of the new government in Tamil Nadu under Vijay’s leadership. This meant that the viral claim was misleading.
