The Central Government has dismissed as fake a resignation letter purportedly issued by Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, which has been widely circulated on social media.

Officials clarified that Dharmendra Pradhan has not resigned from the Union Cabinet and described the viral letter as fabricated. The government urged the public not to believe or share unverified information circulating on social media platforms.

In an official clarification, authorities emphasized that misinformation and fake documents can create unnecessary confusion and mislead the public. They advised citizens to verify such claims through official government sources before forwarding or reacting to them.

The Centre also warned that strict legal action could be taken against individuals or groups found creating or spreading false information intended to mislead the public. Authorities reiterated the importance of responsible use of social media and urged users to rely only on authentic communications issued by the government.

The clarification comes amid the rapid spread of the alleged resignation letter online, prompting officials to issue an immediate rebuttal. The government has reaffirmed that Dharmendra Pradhan continues to serve as a Union Minister and that the viral resignation claim is entirely false.
