Did NDTV journalist Nidhi Razdan spread fake news?
Press and media is often accused of twisting news. This time after interviewing the Prime Minister of Norway, NDTV journalist Nidhi Razdan tweeted that Prime Minister Erna Solberg said that Norway is ready to mediate between India and Pakistan on the Kashmir issue if both sides want it.

Soon After that the Norwegian ambassador to India Nils Ragnar Kamsvåg tweeted and refuted NDTV’s claim “PM @erna_solberg has not offered to mediate between India and Pakistan as has been erroneously reported.”
PM @erna_solberg has not offered to mediate between India and Pakistan as has been erroneously reported. Norway has neither been asked nor offered to mediate.

Although, NDTV journalist Nidhi Razdan has refuted that it is not a fake news, but many are asking who is correct Nidhi or Norwegian ambassador to India Nils Ragnar Kamsvåg?
