An image of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is viral on social media, in which he can be seen with a girl. BJP leaders and supporters have claimed that the girl seen with Rahul Gandhi is Amulya Leona, known to have raised ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans during the anti-CAA protest in Bangalore in 2020<\/a>. AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi was also a part of that protest rally. Amulya was later arrested.<\/div>\n

BJP’s IT cell co-convenor in Uttar Pradesh Shashi Kumar shared the viral picture side by side with Amulya’s old video and tweeted, “Rahul Gandhi\u2019s Bharat Jodo Yatra is turning out to be an association of all anti-nationals. Amulya Leona Noronha who had raised Pakistan Zindabad slogans during the anti-CAA protests, walks with Rahul Gandhi and he hugs her”. The tweet was later deleted. (Archive link<\/a>)<\/div>\n
