A video is posted by Chitra Tripathi who is an anchor on AajTak. The video is shared with the claim that she has delivered the speech in UK’s Parliament.
She shared the video with the caption, “Got a chance to speak in the UK Parliament on the occasion of the completion of 75 years of independent India, Then I told them that you are so bright because we have many Kohinoor with you. When you came, India’s economy was 24.5% of the world’s production, after a century and a half we were 1.7%.”
Fact Check:
To investigate the claim, we simply searched for the pictures of the UK Parliament’s House and found these pictures.
These pictures clearly do not match with the area shown in the video.
Then we used different frames of the picture and found the area looked quite similar to a dining area of the house of commons, where people are usually provided with the opportunity to speak.
As one can see the above area is as same as the area shown in the video posted by Chitra Tripathi.
Further, we found a report of Standard, where they mentioned that The House of Commons is opening its member’s dining room to the public for lunch.
Conclusion:
The team found the claim of the anchor Chitra Tripathi to be misleading.
Claim Review: Chitra Tripathi has delivered the speech in UK’s Parliament.
Claimed by: Chitra Tripathi
