The Hindu Caught ‘Forging’ the Rafale Document

When The Hindu, some days back had presented a false narrative claiming that the Defence Ministry protested against PMO undermining Rafale negotiations, we had factually busted the report in our article titled A Cropped Picture to Paint a False Picture on Rafale.

Many other journalists and defense experts have also debunked the above quoted report of The Hindu.

On February 18, The Hindu took pot-shots at Mr Mitra through its Readers’ Editor column, where it has argued that the image that it had published was not doctored as some have claimed.

The gist of Mr. Mitra’s argument provides enough evidence to show that the document published by The Hindu has been fudged at many levels.

This infographic below provides the broader picture for the issue.

The Hindu in a news article had presented a cropped image of an internal note of the defence ministry, in a way to create a false impression that there was a conflict of opinion between the MoD and the PMO wherein the former had told the latter not to carry out ‘parallel negotiations’ on Rafale.
