The image is of a Congress representative touching Gandhi\u2019s feet in 2011<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The photograph in question has been circulating across social media channels in recent years, either purported as an image of the former PM or Congress MLA Navjot Singh Siddhu touching Sonia Gandhi\u2019s feet. Hoaxslayer<\/em><\/a> reported last year on the two different contexts used to circulate the image.<\/p>\n

Old images often recirculate with false narratives for political propaganda. Former PM Manmohan Singh has often been in the crosshairs of rumour-mongers who have sought his continuous portrayal as Sonia Gandhi’s lackey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
