During the Iranian president’s address at the BRICS summit, Randhir Jaiswal remained busy chewing dry fruits, as if he had nothing to do with the world’s most important conference. Al Arabiya released the video.
NEW DELHI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 14th Sep, 2026) A peculiar scene has emerged from the BRICS summit in India, turning the serious diplomatic environment into a controversial topic. While world leaders were discussing the deteriorating geopolitical situation and global economic future, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal appeared focused on an entirely different “important” task.
According to details, a video circulating on social media shows Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivering a serious address from the main BRICS stage. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi can be seen listening attentively, but the camera focused on Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, seated behind him. Instead of paying attention to the important proceedings, Jaiswal reportedly took out dry fruits placed in front of him and began eating them rapidly.
The video suggests that as the Iranian president’s address became more serious, the Indian spokesperson continued chewing the dry fruits, seemingly unconcerned with the world’s largest conference taking place around him. After the video surfaced, the “dry fruit controversy” drew attention away from the BRICS outcomes, while the Indian Ministry of External Affairs may have faced considerable embarrassment after international media released footage of the incident.
