衆院憲法審査会が緊急事態条項を3月27日に採決

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the claim was false: the March 27, 2025, meeting was scheduled for discussion of the House of Councillors’ emergency assembly, not a vote on an emergency clause. It also notes that the commission had discussed the emergency-clause issue on March 13, but no vote was scheduled for March 27.

"Everything that he's doing is getting criticized in the media, and he says that he's helping, but he's not. He's making us look bad. He's making me look bad (…) But he's not even an American. He is from South Africa."

Publisher’s rating: Likely fake

DW reports that forensic and audio-analysis evidence indicated the recording was likely inauthentic. Experts noted suspicious audio quality and speech patterns inconsistent with Vance; detection tools produced mixed results, though several assessed it as likely fake.

PM Modi has spent less on foreign trips than former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Singh spent ₹1,350 crore on 72 foreign visits over 10 years, whereas Modi spent ₹258 crore on 38 visits over 11 years.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says the comparison uses mismatched time periods: Singh’s ₹1,346 crore figure covers his second term (2009–2014), while Modi’s nearly ₹259 crore figure covers May 2022 to December 2024. It also reports that Modi’s 84 trips from 2014 to 2018 cost over ₹2,000 crore, so the comparison does not use equivalent periods.
