Claim: Photo of a burqa-clad Qatari news anchor expressing concern over religious freedom in India.
Fact-check: Afghanistan journalist's photo shared as burqa-clad Qatari news anchor expressing concern over religious freedom in India - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post shows a picture of khatereh ahmadi, an afghanistan tv anchor working at the 'tolo news' channel in kabul, afghanistan. the taliban government in afghanistan had enforced an order mandating all-female tv news anchors in the country to cover their faces while on-air. following the taliban orders, on 22 may 2022, khatereh ahmadi was seen covering her face while reading the news on the 'tolonews'. the image does not show a qatari news anchor. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
