Kolkata: A video posted on social media by Union Minister Babul Supriyo of a dead patient allegedly lying in the isolation ward of a state-run hospital here has not gone down well with the West Bengal government. The opposition BJP specialises in spreading fake news, PTI reported it as saying.
Supriyo, who posted the video on Twitter, claimed that it was in the public domain and urged the ruling Trinamool Congress to urgently investigate the matter.
“This is a shocking video… Since this VDO is in the public domain, I wud request Honble WBCM @MamataOfficial to conduct a thorough enquiry into it & release the FACTs asap,” the minister of state for environment, forest and climate change wrote on the micro-blogging site.
Senior West Bengal Minister and TMC Secretary-General Partha Chatterjee said they need to look into the authenticity of the video and if the contents are found to be true then the administration will take appropriate steps.
Supriyo, in another subsequent tweet, said till now the state government has not claimed that the video is fake, which “takes us very close to believing it is indeed authentic”, added the report.
