A video is being shared on social media with the claim that it shows PM Modi celebrating his birthday with industrialists.





Claim:

Video shows PM Modi celebrating his birthday with industrialists.

Fact Check:

A Google Reverse Image search was done for the video, by breaking the video into individual frames using InVid.


This led to a Youtube video which was uploaded by 'ANI News Official' on their YouTube channel back in July 2017.

According to the description of the video, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was given a demonstration of a mobile water filtration plant at the Dor beach in Israel's Haifa on July 6, 2017. PM Modi was also accompanied by his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu.

The video was a part of the three-day tour of PM to the Middle East nation following which he left for Germany to attend the G20 summit which was held in Hamburg on July 7 and 8 of that year.

ANI had also posted photographs from the event on their Twitter account.

Below is a screenshot of a report on the event:


Further, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu had tweeted a similar video on 6 July 2017.

It is noteworthy to mention that PM Modi's birthday is on September 17, however, the videos are from July. Therefore, the videos are unrelated to his birthday.
