“Rahul Gandhi and other Congress MPs wore black outfits to protest against the foundation stone laying of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple on 5 August 2020”
What FACTLY found
While the photograph showing Rahul Gandhi and other Congress MPs in black outfits is real, the reason behind this is the protest against the price hike, unemployment, and GST hike on essential items. The incident took place on 5 August 2022, not 2020, as stated in the claim, and has nothing to do with the Ayodhya Ram Temple
