Congress used photos from their own days to criticize BJP over farm bill.
A lot of tweets were made yesterday using images of farmers etc., showing their plight, by Congress official accounts, Priyanka Gandhi and others, to criticize the Farm Bill in parallel with farmers’ protests.
The posts/tweets had a message/text along with a photo of farmers or other relevant stuff.
Given the stature of a national party, verified accounts, thus making them responsible, using such images obviously means that the photo is related to the text proving it right otherwise one should use the word “Representational image” or some similar words on or with the image which they didn’t.
Photos used –

सरकार को मंडी से राजस्व मिलता है, उस राजस्व से सरकार ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में विकास कार्य करवाती है। भाजपा सरकार मंडी प्रणाली को बंद करके ग्रामीण भारत के विकास को खतरे में डाल रही है।#DeshKiBaat pic.twitter.com/lJunnOJ8Q5

सपने कुछ यूं दिखाये थे, वादों के पूरा हो जाने का,
विश्वास जादूगर के जादू सा लगा था।
प्रधानमंत्री ने झूठे वादों से,
देश के हर वर्ग को ठगा था।। pic.twitter.com/1MrNklHzhi— Congress (@INCIndia) September 24, 2020
