“Rahul Gandhi said RSS shakha members cannot understand Mahatma Gandhi, and one must study in a madrasa to do so.”
What FACTLY found
Rahul Gandhi did not say that one must study in a madrasa to understand Mahatma Gandhi. In a video message on 29 May 2024, he stated that people influenced by the RSS shakha worldview cannot fully understand Gandhi and tend to follow Godse’s ideology. The claim linking him to madrasa study is a digitally altered version of an original post by the Hamara Bharat Facebook page.
