During his recent visit to Seychelles, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was awarded the Guardian of the Blue Horizon, one of the nation's highest honors. This event sparked criticism from the opposition, who highlighted issues with the award's presentation and questioned the authenticity of the certificate, which was flagged as AI-generated.
