FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the video in question, and found it to be altered.
Conducting a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team identified two more videos of PM Modi presiding over high-level meetings.
One of the original footages is from March 2023, when PM Modi chaired a high-level meeting to review the Covid-related situation.
The video was posted by The Times of India on March 23, 2023. Another video over the same incident had been also posted by newswire ANI on March 22, 2023.
In the above comparison, it is evident that not only the visual on the screen in the video has been altered, but the entire frame has been flipped using editing software.
Digging further, we found another video from which the visuals of PM Modi, Amit Shah and Nirmala Sitharaman were used in the video in question. The video was from June 26, 2023, when PM Modi chaired the key meeting with Cabinet ministers after his visit to US, and Egypt.
With the above findings, it is clear that the video in question is altered.
