Deze video toont een dansende Rishi Sunak
Publisher’s rating: Het gaat hier om een lookalike van Rishi Sunak, en niet echt om de Britse premier. De grap dat de twee op elkaar lijken gaat al langer rond.

PM Modi fled to Delhi in helicopter due to severe protests from public during his visit to Morbi
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The claim concerns a video circulated after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Morbi following the bridge collapse. It alleged that he left the site by helicopter to escape severe public protests. FACTLY reports that the helicopter image in the video does not show his departure from Morbi: a reverse image search traced it to a photograph from 2015, taken in Bihar during an election rally. The review says that Hindustan Times identified the image as showing an Indian Air Force helicopter taking off with Modi after he addressed that rally. It also distinguishes online reaction to the Morbi visit from protests at the site: the review describes support and opposition on social media, but says it found no report of Modi fleeing because of protests. To check the claim against the visit itself, FACTLY says it examined footage and news updates from media outlets. Its account says those materials showed Modi visiting the collapsed bridge site and speaking with victims and their family members, with no reported incident of him fleeing. Together, the image’s earlier provenance and the described coverage of the Morbi visit contradict the video’s account.

Britain’s new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Kohinoor diamond
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The claim concerns an alleged response by Britain’s new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to an Indian journalist asking about returning the Kohinoor diamond. The post attributed to Sunak the line, “Kohinoor is already present in Delhi for the last eight years at the 7, Lok Kalyan Marg,” and suggested this compared Modi to the diamond. The review identifies 7, Lok Kalyan Marg as Modi’s official residence. [S1]
