New Delhi: In yet another instance of genuine news being termed as âfakeâ by the Central governmentâs fact-check wing, the PIB Fact Check claimed that a genuine recruitment notice issued by the Intelligence Bureau was incorrect â only to delete the tweet after the IB confirmed in writing that it was not false news.
The Publication Division of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B), in a tweet on December 17, pointed out the incorrect âfact-checkâ done a day earlier by the Ministryâs unit under the Press Information Bureau (PIB) that verifies government-related news.
