The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has debunked reports claiming that world leaders fell ill after attending the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi. The ministry labeled the reports as "fake" and advised against sharing unverified information on social media platforms. The claims surfaced following the conclusion of the summit, which brought together leaders and representatives from BRICS member countries.
The MEA's fact-checking unit stated that there was no basis for the reports, particularly regarding President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa and President Xi Jinping of China. Both leaders had returned from the summit and were resting on medical advice when the false reports emerged. The MEA emphasized its commitment to combating misinformation during major international events.
