“Photo of Congress leaders performing Islamic prayers at Karnataka Youth Congress office inauguration”
What FACTLY found
The photo is authentic, and it is true that Congress leaders performed Islamic prayers as shown in the photo. However, they have also performed other religious prayers too. A havan was also performed at the Congress Bhavan as Youth Congress leader Mohammed Haris Nalapad took charge as the KPYCC President. Only the photo of Muslim prayers is being shared selectively on social media to mock them
