Viral Video Claiming Rahul Gandhi Warned Hindus Debunked: 23-Second Clip Exposed as Fake
A video of opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is going viral on social media. This 23-second video clip claims that Rahul Gandhi has issued a warning to Hindus.
It is being claimed on X and Meta that Rahul Gandhi has threatened Hindus, stating that actions will be taken against Sanatanis after the BJP government is removed.
This post, along with the claim, has been shared by numerous users on both X and Meta (formerly Facebook). However, our investigation found this claim to be entirely fake and false.
During the investigation, we came across a tweet from the X account named IAmBharatOne. This tweet included the 23-second video clip of Rahul Gandhi, along with a caption that read, “Listen to the warning given to Hindus by Khan’s grandson!”
Bipin Vajpayee’s Tweet
A similar tweet was made a few days ago by verified X user Bipin Vajpayee. In his tweet, Bipin wrote – Listen to Pappu’s warning, see how he is threatening opponents, Rahulji, who is spewing venom against Hindus, no one is afraid of you.
During the investigation, we found a similar claim on Meta (formerly Facebook). Here, a user named Advocate Satya Shukla shared a 23-second video related to Rahul Gandhi, claiming that Rahul Gandhi is warning Hindus.
What is the Truth Behind the Viral Video?
What is the complete truth behind this 23-second video clip? The answer was found in Rahul Gandhi’s tweet made on March 29. The tweet stated: “When the government changes, action will certainly be taken against those who have torn apart democracy. This action will be such that no one will ever have the courage to do this again. This is my guarantee.
Rahul Gandhi’s Statement on Government Agencies and Congress’s Tax Demand
A 29-second video clip on Twitter features Rahul Gandhi stating, “If these institutions had done their job, if the CBI had done its job, if the ED had done its job, this would not have happened. They should also consider that whatever they are doing, one day the BJP government will change, and then actions will be taken, and such measures will be implemented that I guarantee this will never happen again.”
However, the Income Tax Department had issued a demand notice to the Congress for ₹1,700 crore. This notice was for the period from 2017-18 to 2020-21 and included amounts for penalties along with interest. For Congress, which was already facing a cash crunch before the Lok Sabha elections, this notice was nothing short of a shock.
Rahul Gandhi was responding to this notice received by the party. He said that when the government changes, definite actions will be taken against those who undermine democracy. The measures will be such that no one will dare to do all this again. This is my guarantee.
Clarification on Claims About Rahul Gandhi’s Statements
It is clear that the claim being made about Rahul Gandhi warning Hindus is entirely false, misleading, and deceptive. Rahul Gandhi was responding to the ₹1700 crore tax notice received by the Congress Party through a press conference. This clip of the opposition leader’s press conference has been edited and circulated with false claims.
