During our research on the matter we found a YouTube video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing an event in Panipat via video conferencing on August 10, 2022, to dedicate the second-generation ethanol plant worth Rs.900 crore.

During the conference, PM Modi said, “On August 5, there was an attempt to spread black magic mentality. Those who think that by wearing black clothes, their period of despair will end are unaware that irrespective of the black magic and their belief in superstition, the public’s trust will never be restored in them. Even after lying against the government, the public is not ready to trust such people. In desperation, these people are also seen turning towards black magic.”

Prime Minister Modi through his speech was referring to the Congress leaders who were dressed in black clothes and held a protest on August 5, 2022, from Parliament to Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Thus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not promoting any superstitious belief. The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the official Twitter handle of the Indian Youth Congress represented the matter in a distorted manner to misguide the people.
