New Delhi, October 20: In a unique form of creativity, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on Tuesday shared a meme of late Bollywood veteran Amrish Puri with his photos from iconic blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ). The meme shows how fake news should be prevented by verifying the messages first before forwarding it to others. By using Puri's meme on 25 years of the film's release, PIB shared the meme on Twitter and said 'Babuji' understands the menace of Fake News and the importance of Fact Check. The tweet further urged people to share WhatsApp forwards only after checking and verifying the facts.
