On April 24, Salman Rushdie posted a tweet calling out a fake quote and requested people to stop circulating the same on social media. The tweet in question voices out anti-Islamic sentiment, stating that all Muslim regardless of their literacy and economic levels aimed to ‘’destroy the whole nation by terrorism’’.

Stop posting this fake quote please. https://t.co/v9UmnmJSrL— Salman Rushdie (@SalmanRushdie) April 24, 2022
