Gandhi can be seen sitting inside a temple with his hands folded in front of him. He had offered prayer at the Achaleshwar Shiv temple in Gwalior.<\/p>\n

On October 15, Rahul Gandhi kick-started a two-day visit<\/a> to poll-bound Madhya Pradesh with a visit to the Peetambara Peeth temple at Datia.<\/p>\n

Misrepresentation of photograph\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The photograph showing Gandhi with folded hands, claiming that he was performing namaz is a misrepresentation. The sequence of events is as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As can be seen clearly, Gandhi is not offering namaz but taking the temple offering from the priest. This photograph can be seen<\/a> on a fan page of Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia. Photographs of this event in sequence can be accessed here. The video of Rahul Gandhi’s temple visit is posted below, in which it can be seen that the priest is handing over the temple offering to Congress leader Kamal Nath.<\/p>\n
