CLAIMA photo of a gargantuan property with mountains in the backdrop is being shared with the claim that it is former J&K CM and Congress leader
Ghulam Nabi Azad’s house in
Kashmir.
“This is the house of unemployed Ghulam Nabi Azad in kashmir. See how much loot he has made (sic),” tweeted Manju while sharing the image.
Among those tweeting the photo with the same claim was NK Sood, who describes himself as a “former RAW officer” in his Twitter bio. He has now deleted the tweet.
