DMK family-owned Sun News peddles fake news once again

In yet another incident of peddling fake news, Tamil news channel Sun News which has ties to the ruling DMK spread lies that the BJP Tamil Nadu left garbage bags in the beach after cleaning up.

Sun News, through its official handle had put a news card in which it claimed that BJP workers collected garbage at the Besant Nagar beach on the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday and left the collected garbage in bags in the beach itself.

However, BJP Tamil Nadu Youth Wing President Vinoj P. Selvam clarified that the garbage collected was taken in a corporation vehicle.

This is not the first time that the DMK family owned media has peddled fake news. Earlier, it peddled fake news saying that a man was attacked for not chanting ‘Jai Shri Ram’.

In another incident, it misreported that corona patients in a hospital in Chengalpattu died due to lack of oxygen.
