“Video shows Mamata Banerjee walking off stage while the Indian national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ was being played”
What FACTLY found
This is a digitally altered video. In the original video filmed on 23 March 2022 during a program held in Netaji Indoor Stadium, Kolkata, Mamata Banerjee was seen walking off the stage after the national anthem ended. Additionally, the original video features an instrumental version of ‘Jana Gana Mana’, unlike the viral video, which includes the song with female vocals.
