A set of photographs is making rounds on social media in which Shiv Sena leaders Uddhav Thackeray and Aditya Thackeray can be seen offering a ‘chaddar’. It has been claimed that the father-son duo visited the Ajmer Drgha after Uddhav Thackeray took over a Maharashtra Chief Minister.
The caption of the post read: ”ख़्वाजा के दरबार में पोहचे आदित्य ठाकरे । शिवसेना का मुख्य मंत्री बनने की मांगी थी मन्नत जो हुई पूरी।
मेरा ख़्वाजा चाहें उसे नवाज़े ।हिंदुत्व के मुद्दों पे अडग रहने वाली पार्टी को भी अजमेर दरबार मे बुला के जुका के सल्तनत का अमीर बनाया।”


We found many Facebook users extensively sharing the same post.

On simply running a Reverse Image we came across an article published by The Times of India in March 2017.

The above post is actually a video report by India TV showing visuals of this visit.

PHOTO 3


Again, through a simple Reverse Image Search we found the image on a website Hello Mumbai News. The article is dated March 16, 2018 and is titled, ‘Shiv Sena Chief Uddhav Thackeray Offers ‘Chadar’ At Ajmer Shariff Dargah’ 
Hence, these photographs are falsely shared stating a visit by Aditya Thackeray to the dargah after the Maharashtra assembly election.
