हा फोटो त्या वेळेचा आहे, जेव्हा स्वामी विद्यानंद विदेह यांनी नेहरू यांच्या कानशिलात जोरदार लगावली होती. कारण… नेहरू यांनी एका समारंभात त्यांच्या भाषणात म्हटले होते की, “हिंदू लोक भारतात निर्वासित (शरणार्थी) आहेत.” हे ऐकून, समारंभाचे मुख्य पाहुणे स्वामी विद्यानंद विदेहजी उभे राहिले आणि व्यासपीठावरच नेहरू यांच्या जोरदार कानशिलात मारली. व त्यांच्या जवळचा माईक काढून घेत म्हणाले, “आर्य हिंदू” लोक निर्वासित नसून, ते आमचे पूर्वज आहेत आणि या देशाचे मूळ रहिवासी आहेत.

Publisher’s rating: False

The viral post says Nitin Gadkari praised Rahul Gandhi with his reply, “Those I thought were small seemed big.”

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY reports that the viral clip joins a question about Rahul Gandhi to Gadkari’s later general reflection, making it appear that the reflection was specifically about Gandhi. In the full video, Gadkari says he sees everyone in a good way and describes the remark as a general observation about people he had met.
