He alleged that fake news is being circulated on social media regarding his father’s death.
“My father Shri Pranab Mukherjee is still alive & haemodynamically stable! Speculations and fake news being circulated by reputed journalists on social media clearly reflects that media in India has become a factory of fake news,” Abhijit tweeted.

Describing his father as a fighter, Abhijit Mukherjee urged well-wisher to pray for his father’s speedy recovery.

Besides, Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of Pranab Mukherjee, posted on tweeter that “rumours about his father are false”.
