A video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is getting viral on social media. In this video, Rahul Gandhi can be heard talking about China. Rahul Gandhi can be heard saying that you use the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force to keep India safe from China. But if you use Indian laborers, Indian farmers, and Indian workers, you will not need to make the Army, Navy, and Air Force stand there (border). China will not have the courage to come inside India.
While sharing this video, a verified user named Major Surendra Punia captioned- “ @RahulGandhi lord, where are your feet? From where do you get such logic? ( English Translation)

To know the reality of the viral video, the DFRAC team first converted the video into frames and afterward did a reverse search.

In this 1:01:40 minute video, Rahul Gandhi can be heard talking about China from 11:11 minutes to 18:00 minutes. This entire duration also includes a viral video. Rahul Gandhi’s statement is that India’s laborers, traders, businessmen, and workers should be strengthened so much that even the President of China should wear an Indian-made shirt. Chinese people should drive Indian-made cars, travel on Indian-made airplanes, and sell Made in India products in China. The day India’s traders, laborers, farmers, and workers become strong, China will not have the courage to enter India.
Conclusion:
It is clear from DFRAC’s fact check that the viral video is being shared half. After watching the entire video, it is clear that Rahul Gandhi is talking about the strength of India’s farmers, laborers, traders, and workers. Therefore, the claim of social media users is misleading.
