Fact check:
To fact-check the viral video, DFRAC did a reverse image search of some frames of the video. We found a video uploaded on 26 February 2022 on the official YouTube channel of the Indian National Congress. The video has been titled – “Shri Rahul Gandhi address at the Chintan Shivir in Dwarka, Gujarat”.
Rahul Gandhi’s viral part can be heard at 2 minutes 56 seconds of this video. “My great grandfather (Jawaharlal Nehru) also used to work with Gandhiji. I read one of his letters, which he had written to someone about Gandhiji. In the letter, Nehru Ji wrote that I have had a conversation with Gandhiji on this matter. And my whole opinion, my whole logic is saying that Gandhiji is speaking wrong on this matter and I am speaking the truth. My opinion says that I am right and he is wrong, but I also know that he (Gandhiji) is right and I (Nehru) am wrong on this matter.”
Conclusion:
It is clear from the analysis of this video that Rahul Gandhi is referring to the conversation between Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in his speech. By editing half of the videos, social media users are making them viral in the wrong context. Therefore, the claim made by social media users is fake.
Claimed: Rahul Gandhi talks about meeting Gandhiji
Claimed by: Social media users
