Congress paddles fake news; links PM Modi's poster with G20 Summit

New Delhi: Former Union minister and BJP leader Vijay Goel on Thursday termed "fake news" a social media post about the G20 Summit shared by the Congress' Pawan Khera, and said the opposition party should desist from "petty politics".

Earlier, Khera had shared a picture on social media platform 'X' purportedly showing a hoarding with a larger image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as compared to other world leaders.

Responding to the Congress leader, Goel wrote on X, "This is fake news. No such hoarding has been put. Congress should desist from such petty politics at a time when India is hosting the world."
