Fake claim by X user that Muslim woman had married her son debunked by Mohammed Zubair
Fact-checker Mohammed Zubair has debunked a false claim made by X user @swetasamadhiya, who is followed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Sweta Srivastava who describes herself as an "Andhbhakt" and a "Hardcore Modi" supporter on her X bio had shared a video on her X account with a claim that a woman had married her own son in Kerala after the death of her husband.
In reality the video in question shows a mother congratulating her son after he completed the recitation of the Quran. However, it was falsely shared with the misleading assertion that a Muslim woman had married her son. Zubair's fact-check clarifies the actual context of the video, correcting the spread of misinformation

In the past also two edited photographs had gone viral on social media with the claim that "a father married his own daughter, prompting the mother to get furious and marry her own son." Back then also these claims were debunked by Alt News.
Many such false claims were earlier shared by right wing accounts. pic.twitter.com/dR5xtrYyyY

Washington (PTI): FBI Director Kash Patel on Sunday condemned the Pahalgam terrorist attack and pledged full support to India, calling the act a “reminder of the constant threats that the world faces from the evil of terrorism”.
Patel also hailed the security forces for their response to the attack.
Terrorists opened fire in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on Tuesday, killing 26 people, mostly tourists, in the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama strike in 2019. The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility for the attack.
"The FBI sends our condolences to all the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Kashmir — and will continue offering our full support to the Indian government," Indian-American Patel said in a post on X on Sunday.
"This is a reminder of the constant threats our world faces from the evils of terrorism. Pray for those affected. Thank you to the men and women of law enforcement who answer the call in moments like these," the first Indian-American to lead the premier law enforcement agency of the United States said in the post.
The terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22 has drawn widespread condemnation from countries and world leaders around the globe.
On April 25, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard also said America stands with India as it hunts down those responsible for the heinous Pahalgam attack.
The State Department also said the US stands with India and called for the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack to be brought to justice.
