A heartwarming image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi serving food to devotees at a Gurudwara has been circulating on social media. However, the accompanying claim states that the PM was simply pretending to serve as both the bucket and ladle were empty. This claim has been found to be false upon further investigation.
The photo, which has been shared by multiple users, shows PM Modi holding a steel vessel and a ladle while serving food. But a video of the same event tells a different story. In the video, the PM can be clearly seen placing food on the plates of devotees at Gurudwara Patna Sahib.
The false claim was debunked by Newschecker, a fact-checking website. They found that the viral image was actually a screengrab from a video posted by Aaj Tak on May 13, 2024. A comparison of a keyframe from the video and the viral image showed that they were identical.
Furthermore, the official YouTube channel of Narendra Modi also uploaded the same video on the same date, with a description stating that the PM was serving langar to members of the Sikh community during his visit to Bihar.
In the video, PM Modi can be seen wearing a turban and serving food to devotees sitting on the floor. A report by NDTV also confirmed this, stating that the PM not only served langar but also helped in cooking it.
In conclusion, the viral post claiming that PM Modi was serving food from an empty bucket is false. The PM was actually serving langar to devotees at Gurudwara Patna Sahib during his visit to Bihar. This story was originally published by Newschecker and republished by OrissaPOST as part of the Shakti Collective.
