A video circulating on social media claims that India has been granted permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) along with veto power following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s participation at the 79th UN General Assembly session. However, Channeliam Fact Check has found this viral claim to be false.
What Is the Claim?
Numerous videos are asserting that India has achieved permanent membership in the UNSC, complete with veto rights. One viral post from September 26 on X (formerly Twitter) declared, “BHARAT GOT A PERMANENT MEMBERSHIP IN UNSC WITH VETO POWER! CONGRATULATIONS India has got permanent membership with veto power in the Security Council of the United Nations. Earlier only five countries had this status. Now there are six countries.”
Channeliam Fact Check confirms that India has not been granted permanent membership in the UNSC or veto power. The claim circulating on social media is false, and users are urged to approach such videos with caution.
