“Video of Rahul Gandhi admitting to pushing BJP MPs at the premises of the Indian Parliament.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is a clipped portion of Rahul Gandhi’s interview that he gave to various Indian news agencies on this issue. In the longer video, we can hear him saying the words ‘haa Kiya hai Kiya hai’ after reporters asked him if Mallikarjuna Kharge and Priyanka Gandhi were also pushed during the scuffle. This portion of the video is being shared to claim that he confessed to pushing BJP MPs.
