Publisher’s rating: भ्रामक
Video shows Islamic/Pakistani flags being raised at Priyanka Gandhi’s nomination rally in Wayanad on 23 October 2024.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
The video is not from Priyanka Gandhi’s nomination rally in Wayanad on 23 October 2024; FACTLY identifies it as footage of a 2019 election campaign in Kasargod. The flags shown are those of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), not Pakistani or Islamic flags.
232 votes were cast in favour of Waqf Board in the Lok Sabha while there were only 24 Muslim MPs, implying 208 Hindu MPs voted in favour.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that no vote took place on the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha; instead, a motion to refer it to a Joint Parliamentary Committee was adopted. It says the bill was referred to the committee for consideration, so the claim about 232 votes in favour is unsupported by the parliamentary proceedings reviewed.
