A digitally altered video of Indian President Droupadi Murmu is being widely circulated online with the false claim that, during her address on the 76th Constitutional Day, she warned that freedoms are shrinking, secularism is weakening, and minorities are being targeted in India. However, this claim is entirely false. The viral clip is digitally manipulated, and no such remarks were made by the President in her real address. The claim has no factual basis and is part of a fabricated narrative targeting India.
The false video was amplified by several Pakistani propaganda accounts, including @Shadowfox_11 and @Baba_Thoka, who shared the clip claiming that the President herself has warned that extremism is taking over India and that the world must pay attention.
🇮🇳 Indian President during speech on 76th Constitutional Day emphasized the urgent need for honest self-reflection, expressing deep concern that individual freedoms—including freedom of expression and the right to protest—are shrinking.

Truth: Original Speech Shows President Murmu Made No Such Statement
As the false claim gained traction on social media, it drew our attention. The D-Intent Data Team conducted a detailed frame-by-frame investigation and keyword research to locate the original footage. While closely examining the video, we noticed inconsistent facial expressions that raised suspicion. We then traced the clip through the visible logo, reviewed the linked Twitter and YouTube accounts, and located the complete, original version of the speech. Our investigation led us to the official India Today X (Twitter) account, which posted the authentic video titled “President Droupadi Murmu speaks on 76th Constitution Day. Listen in.” The original speech is clear and contains no reference to shrinking freedoms, weakened secularism, or targeted minorities.

This confirms that the viral video was digitally manipulated and originated from Pakistani propaganda networks as part of an ongoing disinformation campaign against India. President Droupadi Murmu’s actual address was focused on constitutional values and democratic principles, not on the fabricated claims being circulated.
