Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a seven-day visit to the United States where he will be participating in two round tables with CEOs of American companies. On Septemeber 20, Tulsi Gabbard, a member of the Democratic Party of the United States, extended a warm welcome to PM Modi on his visit to the country.<\/p>\n

“Indian-origin presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard welcomes Narendra Modi on a visit to the US, apologises for not being able to join ‘Howdy Modi’ event”, <\/em>read the headline of an article published by Firstpost<\/em><\/a> which credited the story to news agency Asian News International<\/em><\/a> (ANI).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several other media outlets including NDTV<\/a>, The Statesman<\/a>, The Fress Press Journal<\/a>, and Moneycontrol<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>have also published articles where it is being claimed that Gabbard is the first Indian-origin woman candidate for the US presidential elections. NDTV<\/em> and The Fress Press Journal<\/em> have credited their stories to ANI<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the past as well, mainstream media outlets such as Republic TV<\/em><\/a>, Zee Business<\/em><\/a> and India Today<\/em><\/a> have reported Gabbard as a woman of Indian-origin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/h2>\n

Alt News found that the 37-year-old Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard is not of Indian-origin. She has herself publically clarified the same on Twitter<\/a> in October 2012. It was also reiterated<\/a> by her in 2014.<\/p>\n

\n

@ronejoq<\/a> @amisri<\/a> I am not of Indian origin.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) October 17, 2012<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Moreover, according to an explainer published by The Indian Express<\/em><\/a>, Gabbard was born into a family of American Samoan ancestry, which is native to the US State of Hawaii. “Her father was a Catholic and her mother a convert to Hinduism. Gabbard herself became a Hindu when she was a teenager.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"In conclusion, many mainstream outlets led by ANI<\/em> misreported that democratic presidential candidate representative Tulsi Gabbard is a woman of India-origin while she has herself publically denied to have Indian ancestry. While ANI<\/em> later has updated it article (sans clarification), other media outlets that published syndicated ANI<\/em> feed are yet to do the same.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
