The claim
The viral video shows Arnab Goswami saying that after six months Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be able to leave his home and that Indian youth will beat him with sticks if he does.
Original review summary
The review says the viral clip was edited to remove the context that Goswami was quoting Rahul Gandhi, making it appear that Goswami made the remark himself. In the full debate, Goswami cited Gandhi’s earlier statement while responding to a Congress panellist.[S1]
Additional context
The review identifies the complete debate as a Republic World broadcast streamed on 18 July 2024 and traces the quoted remarks to a Rahul Gandhi speech from February 2020. [S1]
