A video of Rahul Gandhi offering namaz with Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad and a few members of the Muslim community is viral on social media<\/a> with messages terming him “anti-Hindu”.<\/p>\n

Alt News has received verification requests for the video on its WhatsApp helpline number (+91 76000 11160).<\/p>\n

Last year, a Facebook page \u092d\u093e\u0930\u0924 :An Untold Story<\/a>\u00a0shared the video with the caption –\u00a0“In the Video Clipping, the Muslims are taking Oath in front of Rahul Gandhi and Gulam Nabi Azad against Hindus & Hinduism demolition in India. They are praying for the Muslim Kingdom in India.”\u00a0At the time of writing this article, the video had 10,000 views. The post is now deleted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another page\u00a0NaMo Mantra:- Nation FIRST<\/a> shared the video with the identical narrative and later took it down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch the video carefully. Muslims are taking an oath in front of Rahul Gandhi and Ghulam Nabi Azad against the Hindus and Hinduism. The old man is talking about demolition in India. They are praying for a Muslim Kingdom in India. \ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47 pic.twitter.com\/Pip1BaSVEh<\/a><\/p>\n

The clip was circulated by those followed by railway minister Piyush Goyal’s office (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>, 4<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In fact, it had also been shared<\/a> with the message –\u00a0“\u0925\u094b\u0921\u093c\u093e \u0935\u093e\u092f\u0930\u0932 \u0915\u0930 \u0926\u094b\u0917\u0947 \u0924\u094b 4 \u0926\u093f\u0928 \u092c\u093e\u0926 <\/span>\u092a\u092a\u094d\u092a\u0941<\/span> \u092e\u093e\u092b\u0940<\/span> \u092e\u093e\u0902\u0917\u0924\u0947<\/span> \u0939\u0941\u090f<\/span> \u0928\u091c\u0930<\/span> \u0906\u090f\u0917\u093e<\/span>” – after the conclusion of 2020 Delhi Assembly elections. The message translates to, “If you make this viral Pappu will beg for forgiveness in four days. ”<\/p>\n

Old video of Rahul Gandhi offering a tribute\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Alt News had debunked the same video<\/a> when it was viral in December 2018 with claims that Gandhi converted to Islam after the assembly elections.<\/p>\n

However, the truth is that the video depicts the Congress President paying tribute at Ambedkarnagar\u2019s Kichhocha Sharif Dargah. We had found a\u00a0December 10, 2016<\/a>\u00a0video uploaded by news organisation\u00a0Sahara Samay, which reported,\u00a0\u201cAfter attending a meeting at Shivbaba in Ambedkar Nagar, UP, Rahul Gandhi reached the famous Sharif Kichhocha dargah and on the tomb of Makhdoom Sahab, offered tribute.\u201d<\/p>\n
