Viral video of Modi's welcome in Mauritius is false

thequint.com

A video claiming Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed in Mauritius with a song about inflation is being widely shared online. The video features a music group allegedly singing a satirical tune called "Mahangai Dayan Khaaye Jaat Hai." However, this claim has been debunked. The video is edited and does not accurately represent what happened during PM Modi's visit. Reports indicate he was actually welcomed with a traditional Bihari dance known as 'Geet Gawai.' Official social media posts from PM Modi confirm the type of welcome he received. These posts do not feature the song from the viral video. Further investigation revealed that the logo on the viral video belonged to a parody account named 'Netaflix,' which specializes in political spoofs. The account admitted that the video was edited. In conclusion, the viral video falsely suggests that a song about inflation was performed during PM Modi's welcome in Mauritius.
