TMC leader triggers controversy over photoshopped image
In the image, Union Home Minister and BJP leader Rajnath Singh is seen offering ‘laddu’ to CPI-M leader Prakash Karat.
However, the TMC later clarified that the picture revealed by the party was photoshopped.
"Two videos & 6 pics were shown at our press conference. We removed one pic immediately when our research team learnt it was photoshopped," Trinamool Congress posted on its official Twitter page.
The BJP released the original photo where it was seen that Singh was offering the sweet to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The CPI-M said it will take legal action against the TMC.
"Will surely take legal action. @quizderek should rename his handle as @morphderek. He is following lying & deceitful nature of his leader," senior CPI-M leader Md Salim tweeted.
