“This video shows Congress candidate Sajid Khan Mastan Khan’s rally in Akola, Maharashtra, with flags of Palestine, Iran, Iraq, ISIS, and Hezbollah, but no Indian flag.”
What FACTLY found
The video dates back to September 2024, and shows the Milad-un-Nabi bike rally in Latur, Maharashtra. While Indian flags are visible in the viral video, we cannot independently verify if the other flags are associated with Palestine, Iran, Iraq, ISIS, or Hezbollah. However, the viral video is not related to Congress candidate Sajid Khan Mastan Khan’s election rally in Akola, Maharashtra.
