Divya Spandana tweets photoshopped Hitler-Modi photo

Head of Congress' digital team Divya Spandana posted a photoshopped picture on Twitter comparing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Nazi Supremo, Adolf Hitler.

The image had originally appeared in 2018 when various fact-checking portals had debunked. Several others criticised her for being oblivious to the fact that the image was fake.

A popular actor in the southern states of the country, Divya Spandana also referred to as Ramya joined the Indian National Congress in 2012 as a member of its youth wing.

In response to Divya Spandana's tweet, Pratik Sinha, co-founder of AltNews, a fact-checking website, claimed that "social media heads parties shouldn't be falling for stuff that's already been debunked. "

Using photoshopped or morphed images on social media is a dangerous trend. Considering the rate at which images can be circulated on social media, it is important that political leaders refrain from such activities.
