ALBAWABA - Video was virally shared on social media of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi attempting to raise the Indian flag during Independence Day.
In the clip, Modi, who became a prime minister in 2014, was widely mocked online after failing to unfurl the flag during a celebration on India's Independence Day from the capital New Delhi.
A person shared the video and wrote: "Modi failed to unfurl the National flag at the Red Fort." He maintained: "Anger of ‘Bharat Mata’ or a clear sign of Modi departing from the PM office next year?"
Many people allegedly claimed after the video that it was a "sign" that Modi might be living "his last period as a prime minister."
Another person commented on the Modi video: "Exactly, that's the first thing I noticed."
On the other hand, some people on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter, claimed that the video was fabricated or was edited somehow. "Real or fake?" a netizen added.
