“The video shows Shashi Tharoor comparing India and Pakistan and criticising India’s global standing under PM Modi.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show Shashi Tharoor comparing India and Pakistan or criticising India’s global standing under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The original video, recorded during an India-Thai Chamber of Commerce event, contains no such remarks. Analysis using multiple AI detection tools found that the audio in the viral clip is likely AI-generated/deepfake, indicating that the video has been digitally manipulated.
