“Video of Rahul Gandhi stating that he had a conversation with Mahatma Gandhi”
What FACTLY found
The viral excerpt is extracted from Rahul Gandhi’s speech during the Chintan Shivir session of the Gujarat unit of the Congress, held in February 2022. In this speech Rahul Gandhi made these viral comments trying to paraphrase Nehru’s words from a letter in which he discusses a conversation he had with Mahatma Gandhi regarding a certain issue. This part of his speech is misconstrued as he asserted that he had a conversation with Mahatma Gandhi.
