is debroglie wrong?

de broglie equated energy equations of planck and einstein.

E=mc^2

m is moving mass of the particle

for photon rest mass is zero(nearly]

so it does not undergoes relativistic variation of mass

Hence mass energy equialance for photon becomes meaningless.

then it is impossible to equate the two equations

Though dual nature of light is acceptable it is meaningless for light to be a particle?
