In his now-deleted post, Ashoke Pandit said “Janeudhaari Rahul Gandhi is refusing to perform aarti. The reasons are clear.”
The video grabbed eyes of everyone in no time also attracting criticism for Rahul Gandhi. However, some fact checkers found out that the video is morphed as the picture used in the video is from Gandhi’s Rajasthan visit in 2017 where he had actually performed arti.
The complaint alleged that the video was a “deliberate attempt to outrage religious sentiments of members of Hindu community using deliberately falsified videos.”
