PIB Debunks AI-Generated Video Falsely Attributing Statements to Jaishankar

The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has debunked a viral video falsely showing External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar urging the US to hand over leaders of the so-called 'Cockroach Janata Party.' The AI-manipulated clip, originally from a joint press conference, falsely portrays Jaishankar making statements linking the group to Iran and Pakistan and criticizing the US for hosting its members. PIB clarified that these statements were fabricated and not part of the original footage.
