New Delhi: Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar has fallen victim to fake news. A message has been doing the rounds on WhatsApp, falsely claiming that he will recharge the phones of those who will help farmers. Fake news is, indeed, a rising menace, sir.

In translation: A WhatsApp message has been spreading on social media that I will recharge the mobile phones to help the drought-hit farmers in the state. This is a cruel attempt by some socialists to oppress farmers.

I urge those who do such things not to believe such rumours. The cyber system should promptly investigate and file crimes against the concerned.
