What FACTLY found

The image actually shows a large public gathering for a meeting organized by left-front parties in Kolkata’s Brigade parade ground back in 2019. Multiple news agencies have reported the meeting. Although the Left parties held a meeting recently in which the Congress party also participated, these images are not related to that meeting
