A video is being shared on social media claiming it as that of the New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern greeting video on the occasion of Janmashtami festival. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.
New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern greeting video on the occasion of Janmashtami festival.
Fact: Video in the post shows US Congress Representative of Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard, speaking about the importance of Bhagavad Gita on the occasion of Janmashtami festival. It has nothing to do with New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
On reverse image search of the screenshots in the video, we found out that it is US Congress Representative Tulsi Gabbard who was speaking about the importance of Bhagavad Gita in the video. This video was found in the official youtube channel of Tulsi Gabbard.
She published the same video on her twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts. It can be seen here, here and here. Articles related to this greeting video can also be seen here and here.
To all celebrating around the world, I want to wish you a very Happy Janmashtami! May we always be blessed with remembrance of Sri Krishna, His unconditional love, and His transcendental appearance in this world. Jai Sri Krishna! #HappyJanmashtami #KrishnaJanmashtami pic.twitter.com/gh69gw5Xe4
When we searched for greeting video posted by New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern, we did not find any greeting video on the occasion of Janmashtami by Jacinda Ardern.
To sum it up, video of US Congress representative Tulsi Gabbard is falsely portrayed as that of New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern greeting on the occasion of Janmashtami.
