The reel leaves out or misstates a key part of what happened.
Why we say that›
₹60 crore aid to Bangladesh is real and was cut from last year, but no evidence supports specific killings of Odia workers.
The central claims of the ₹60 crore aid in the 2026-27 budget and ongoing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh are supported. The specific assertion that Odia workers are being killed lacks independent evidence.
The specific claim of Odia workers being killed in Bangladesh has no independent corroboration beyond the MP's speech and echoing social media reels.
