“Photo of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh writing ‘Om’ and ‘Swastik’ symbols on Rafale fighter jet in Ambala”

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh wrote ‘Om’ symbol on Rafale fighter jet while doing ‘shastra pooja’ during the Rafale fighter jet handover ceremony at France in 2019. However, in the original photo related to the Rafale Induction ceremony on ‘10 September 2020’, ‘Om’ and ‘Swastik’ were not written on the Rafale fighter jet
