The claim
Indian Prime Minister Modi has been nominated for the 2024 Nobel peace prize.
Original review summary
FACTLY found no evidence that Modi was nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize, and noted that nomination details are kept secret under Nobel Prize statutes. It also reports that the viral video dated to March 2023 and that the 2024 prize went to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo.[S1]
Additional context
The review says Toje visited India in March 2023 and spoke with media after a roundtable held on 14 March. It says media reports then linked his remarks to speculation about the 2023 prize, and that Toje later denied calling Modi a leading contender. [S1]
