Kochi : A distasteful cartoon, that is made to look as if it is published from Deshabhimani, is being circulated on social media. The picture is bogus and being viralled by Congress’s IT wing, falsely claiming it as a anti-women cartoon sketched by “Vijayan Mayyanad”.
No edition of Deshabhimani ever carried the outrageous graffiti. Revati Kaatil, was first to post the cartoon on her Twitter profile. Soon, Congress IT wing sprang into action propagating the graffiti as Deshabhimani cartoon on its Facebook page and all digital platforms it could lay hands on.
Regular readers in vast numbers quickly descended on the scene and exposed its fakeness. Countered with reality, Revati Kattil tweeted an apology for what she claims was a ‘mistake’. Deshabhimani has lodged a complaint against false propaganda.
