In the video, PM is saying ” Who knows what sins we committed in our past life to be born India. Is this a country?”
इस देश मे पैदा होने से मोदी जी को बड़ा दुख है सुनये – the caption on the post said.
(Translation- Listen to Modi ji’s grief over being born in this country )

FACT CHECK
When we fact-checked the video, we found out the clip is taken from PM Modi’s speech while he was addressing the Indian community in Seoul in 2015.

“There was a time when people…. don’t know…. what sin did we commit in our past life?….we are born in India Is this a country? Is this any government?… What kind of people are these? Let’s leave… And people used to leave.. Some years we also saw industrialists saying that we can’t do business here. We can’t live here.. And many people had put one leg out of the country already…” he said during the speech.
You will find the exact clip at 10:28 – 11:02 counter. 
This shows that the video was used out of context and is misleading.
