A reverse image search led us to an article by Hindi daily, Jansatta, dated 7 July 2016, carrying pictures of Kejriwal offering namaz.
The article carried a screenshot of the original image tweeted by AAP Punjab in 2016, with the caption, “Happy Eid to you all,” in Punjabi.
We also found the original tweet through a keyword search on Twitter.
Clearly, the image is not recent, as claimed.
Further, Kejriwal was offering prayers before breaking the Roza for Ramzan at Malerkotla, Sangrur in Punjab’s Patiala, and not at Delhi’s Jama Masjid.
With a keyword search of ‘Kejriwal namaz’ we came across images from a different angle on English daily, Hindustan Times’ Content Service, HTDS.
Credited to HT photographer Bharat Bhushan, the image was captioned, “Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in skull cap offer prayers with devotees before opening the roza on the Holy Month of Ramzan at Malerkotla in Sangrur on July 4, 2016 in Patiala.”
