New Delhi, July 05: A viral image circulating on social media claims that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was served mutton biryani at a dinner hosted by Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. The image shows Modi sitting with a plate of non-vegetarian food in front of him, prompting some users to question his vegetarian identity and accuse him of hypocrisy.

However, this claim is false. The image has been digitally manipulated to spread misinformation. During PM Modi’s official two-day visit to Trinidad and Tobago, he was served food on a Sohari leaf — a tropical plant similar to the banana leaf, commonly used by the Indian-origin population in the Caribbean for festive and cultural meals. The prime minister himself shared photographs from the event on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting the cultural significance of the tradition. Is Central Government Offering Free Tablets to Students Under ‘Free Smart Tablet Scheme 2024–25’?
