Sitaram Yechury, leader of the communist party, member of SFI,(Student Federation of India) has always taken active participation in politics. Recently a tweet has been ignited of Mr. Sitaram Yechury where he is found posting a picture shaking hands with China’s President Xi Jinping and tweeting, “It’s a pleasure for me to meet my boss” on Twitter.

Because CPI(M) has exposed Modi's doublespeak, sanghis have become desperate. Where is the order to do all these things coming from? pic.twitter.com/ZYCkq07dHv— CPI (M) (@cpimspeak) June 22, 2020
The image is from 2015 when Mr. Yechury went to the Chinese capital to participate in an international conference of Asian political parties as per the article in The Hindu.
Conclusion: The article is an example of how renowned personalities are defamed for the sin they have not even committed. Hence the news is fake and check before spreading any news.
