Claim
61 people in India, including several Congress members, have written a request to Prime Minister Modi to patch up relations with Pakistan.
“भारत के वो 61 लोग अपने ज्ञान चक्षुओं को खोल कर देखें जिन्होंने प्रधानमंत्री मोदी को पाकिस्तान से पैचअप करने की बेशर्म रिक्वेस्ट करी है। इसमें कई कांग्रेसी शामिल है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion (61 Indians wrote appealing to normalise ties with Pakistan) is correct, but the stated sub-detail 'several Congress members' is contradicted: coverage documents only ONE former Congress leader (Mani Shankar Aiyar), and the Congress party itself questioned the letter. The letter was also addressed to both Modi and Sharif, not Modi alone.
