What is being claimed?
The viral video on social media is being reported during the AI Summit.
- One user wrote:
“PM Modi several times tried to join hands with French President Emanuel Macron, but he was deliberately ignored.” - Another user wrote:
“The world’s number 1 leader Narendra Modi tried to join hands three times, but Macron ignored. shame on them!”
But the question arises – was it really it, or is it just an attempt to spread an illusion?
What is the reality of viral video?
France was hosting the Global AI Action Summit, and the entire two and a half -hour live streaming of the program was made available on YouTube by the Associated Press.
What happened at 8 minutes 37 seconds?
In the video, it can be seen at 8:37 minutes that PM Modi and President Macron reached the venue together.
What happened at 9 minutes 55 seconds?
- President Macron first joined hands with US Vice President JD Vans.
- PM Modi was sitting near the vans.
- Subsequently, Macron proceeded to join hands with other leaders, including Justin Trudeau.
What happened at 17 minutes 14 seconds?
This is the most important part to prove the viral claim wrong.
- President Macron invites PM Modi on stage.
- At 17:14, it can be clearly seen that Macron and PM Modi not only shake hands, but also get hugs.
- Subsequently, PM Modi moves towards the stage and gives addresses.
It is clear that the claim of “ignoring” is false and the video is being introduced in the wrong context.
