The video claimed that Chief Minister Shivraj Singh was stopped for appearing in PM Modi’s frame. Also the officer who stopped him is the staff of the Prime Minister’s Office.
The video was posted on the Facebook page of the Indian National Congress of Madhya Pradesh on November 17, 2021. They also proclaimed – “We condemn this treatment of the Chief Minister”.
Fact-Check
However this claim is fake.
In the viral video, it is an officer from the PM’s office who stopped Chief Minister Shivraj Singh but it was Bhopal Collector Avinash Lavania. Giving information, he said that,” “I completely refute the matter that is going viral in the social media that Hon’ble CM Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan was stopped by the security officer during the visit of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji.”
