The viral video shows Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge saying that Rahul Gandhi will never become Prime Minister and referring to an eagle in the sky as a buffalo.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says the clip omits context: Kharge’s remark about Rahul Gandhi becoming Prime Minister was conditional on the party being weak, while the eagle-and-buffalo line was a dig at the BJP. It identifies the speech as a public meeting in Raipur on 07 July 2025.

The video shows the ADC of Leh, Ghulam Muhammad, admitting that Amit Shah’s office issued orders to arrest Sonam Wangchuk and label him a Pakistani agent.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The review says the circulating video was digitally altered and that the original briefing contained no claim that Wangchuk’s arrest was ordered by the Home Ministry or that he should be labelled a “Pakistani agent.” It reports that a voice-detection tool flagged the viral clip’s audio as a deepfake and that PIB Fact Check also identified it as manipulated.

Rahul Gandhi said RSS shakha members cannot understand Mahatma Gandhi, and one must study in a madrasa to do so.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review says Gandhi did not say that one must study in a madrasa to understand Mahatma Gandhi. It reports that the viral post was edited: Rahul Gandhi’s 29 May 2024 video discussed the RSS worldview and Gandhi, while a Hamara Bharat post dated 02 October 2025 contained similar graphics but did not mention madrasa study.

小泉進次郎氏、議員立法の提出ゼロ?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review reports that Koizumi had submitted five member-sponsored bills over roughly 16 years, so the claim that he had submitted none is contradicted by the review’s findings. It also notes that governing-party lawmakers tend to submit fewer such bills because legislation is more commonly introduced by the Cabinet.
