Claim: Photo of Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan protesting against the post-poll violence in West Bengal while the country is going through the COVID-19 second wave.
Fact-check: 2019 protest photo of Harsh Vardhan falsely linked to the post-poll violence in West Bengal - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post is related to an old bjp protest held in may 2019. protesting the violence on amit shah's convoy in kolkata, union ministers harsh vardhan, jitendra singh, vijay goel, and other top bjp leaders held this silent protest at jantar mantar in new delhi. this photo is not a current one and has nothing to do with the recent post-poll violence in west bengal. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
