Congress MP Rahul Gandhi travelled to Nepal recently. As per a May 2 article<\/a> by a Nepali news portal, he was attending his friend Sumnima Udas\u2019 wedding. Udas is a former CNN journalist and the daughter of Myanmar\u2019s Ambassador to Nepal.<\/p>\n

A video of Gandhi, in the company of a woman, at a nightclub in Nepal was widely shared by several BJP leaders and supporters with the claim that the woman is Hou Yanqi, the Chinese Ambassador to Nepal. It is worth noting that amid escalating border dispute between India and Nepal in 2020, the latter accused Indian media of running false “propaganda” against Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. Nepal banned private Indian news channels<\/a> a day after Zee News suggested Oli had close ties with Hou Yanqi.<\/p>\n

Kapil Mishra of the BJP shared the video and wrote, \u201cWho is this with Rahul Gandhi? This is not a personal matter. Is he siding with the Chinese agents? Does Rahul Gandhi post tweets against the army due to pressure from China? Questions will be raised. This isn\u2019t just about Rahul Gandhi, but the country at large.” (Archive link<\/a>)<\/p>\n
