PIB Debunks Fake Video Falsely Attributing Beef Production Claim to PM Modi
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has debunked a manipulated video falsely showing Prime Minister Narendra Modi claiming India is the world's second-largest beef producer.

PIB shared the original video and urged the public to verify information through official sources to avoid misinformation.
