Nobody should create tension in the name of fact-checking: Centre

Shiv Sena member Priyanka Chaturvedi places a written question about the rise in fake news online

The Centre on Thursday said people creating tension in society “in the name of fact-checking” were liable for legal action, a day after efforts to keep fact-checker Mohammed Zubair imprisoned were frustrated in the Supreme Court.

Rashtriya Janata Dal member Manoj Jha had asked in the Rajya Sabha why fact-checkers were being arrested while those spreading hatred moved freely.

Information and broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur said: “This is important to know who is a fact-checker and who are not.”

“Nobody should create tension in society in the name of fact-checking. If any complaints come against such people, the law will take its own course.”

Jha’s question came in the context of suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma having so far escaped arrest despite facing multiple cases over her eight-week-old comments on Prophet Mohammed.

But Zubair, co-founder of fact-checking portal AltNews and the person who had highlighted Sharma’s comments, was arrested over certain tweets, accused of hurting Hindu sentiments, and had case after case filed by BJP-administered police forces in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh to pre-empt his release.

On Wednesday, the apex court ordered him freed, granting interim bail in every existing case and any future FIR on the “same subject matter”.
