Fake news spreaders in Tamil Nadu are exploiting the unfortunate incident of 41 miners trapped in the Silkyara tunnel, a part of the Char Dham all-weather accessibility project.

G Sundarrajan of Poovulagin Nanbargal, a Dravidian Stock and self-proclaimed activist who is also known for being a DMK propagandist shared fake news on 26 November 2023.

He wrote, “Important Message:- Modi’s “adopted media” won’t tell us that a tunnel under construction for the Chardham project in Uttarakhand collapsed and trapped 41 people and that the tunnel is being built by Navayuga Engineering Pvt Ltd, which was blackmailed by Gautam Adhani in 2020. #adaniNmodi”

It is noteworthy that Sundarrajan is a part of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government’s Climate Action Committee.

This same piece of content was shared by many leftist and Dravidianist handles on social media.

In the name of sharing breaking news, Devendran Palanisamy associated with the notorious Galatta channel also shared the same as a statement by “environmentalist” Sundarrajan, thereby amplifying the fake news.

Following this, Adani Group’s X handle shared a clarification on nefarious attempts to link them to the unfortunate collapse of a tunnel in Uttarakhand. The clarification said, “It has come to our notice that some elements are making nefarious attempts to link us to the unfortunate collapse of a tunnel in Uttarakhand. We strongly condemn these attempts and those behind them. We clarify with utmost emphasis that the Adani group or any of its subsidiaries has no direct or indirect involvement of any kind in the tunnel’s construction. We also clarify that we do not own or hold any shares in the company involved in the tunnel’s construction. At this time, our thoughts and prayers are with the trapped workers and their families.”

Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party State Secretary, SG Suryah reacted to these attempts at fake news by G Sundarrajan. He wrote on his X handle, “Lie is the most important thing, life is all about lies, and indulge in politics by primarily spreading lies. But on the outside, our environmentalist takes the help of his media friends to help build a better image for himself. Even if the Tamils ​​at first support those who do not have even some basic honesty, they chase them away after learning the truth.”

This incident highlights a concerning trend where certain elements, particularly Dravidianists, have developed a habit of unjustly connecting Adani Group and Prime Minister Modi to various tragedies and scams, regardless of their actual involvement. It is crucial for the public to critically assess information and be wary of politically motivated narratives that seek to exploit unfortunate events for their own agenda. Such misleading tactics not only undermine the credibility of news sources but also contribute to the spread of misinformation and discord in the public sphere.
