A photo showing Prime minister Narendra Modi clicking pictures with the lens cap on is going viral on social media. The post claims that PM Modi was ‘pretending’ to click the photographs of cheetahs brought from Namibia on September 17, 2022.
Eight cheetahs were brought to Gwalior from Namibia on Sep 17, 2022, as part of the cheetah reintroduction programme. They were released in a special enclosure in Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh.
