• Reports indicate BRICS members are divided, with UAE and Saudi Arabia not supporting condemnation while China and Russia remain silent.
• India maintains a neutral stance as chair, prioritizing dialogue over taking sides in the conflict.
• Official records confirm the BRICS role was discussed, but the specific 'boss' quote is unverified.
• The viral narrative is suspected to be part of propaganda efforts to undermine India's standing in the region.
• The situation highlights the challenges BRICS faces in forming a united front on major geopolitical crises.
