Photo of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi meeting Islamic preacher Zakir Naik in Malaysia

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the viral photo was digitally manipulated: the underlying image showed Zakir Naik and his son meeting Oman’s Grand Mufti, while the inserted image of Rahul Gandhi came from a March 2025 London event. The review says the available evidence shows this particular photo does not depict a real meeting, while noting it could not independently verify whether Gandhi met Naik in Malaysia.

The video shows Rajat Sharma reporting that India has decided to reduce trade with the USA by 50% and will do all trade in INR.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the viral video does not show Rajat Sharma making the claimed statement about U.S. trade. It says the matching India TV News report, dated 17 July 2025, covered other stories and did not mention India–U.S. trade; the review also reports that Hive flagged the viral video as 99.9% AI-generated.

Narrative #2: Other flags 'taking over'

Publisher’s rating: A DW Fact check geolocated the video to a street opposite the Pakistani consulate in Glasgow, Scotland. The original post itself stated correctly that the video showed a flag-raising ceremony celebrating Pakistan's Independence Day on August 14.

Up to "three million" people had attended "the biggest protest in British history."

Publisher’s rating: An estimated 110,000-150,000 people marched at a "Unite the Kingdom" protest against immigration in London on September 13, according to official figures from the city's Metropolitan Police. In fact, recent UK protests against Israel's war in Gaza (approximately 300,000), Brexit (several marches generally estimated at "hundreds of thousands") and the Iraq War (up to one million), among others, all attracted significantly larger crowds. Saturday's undoubtedly large event came at a time when immigration is a top political issue in the United Kingdom and amid a heated debate about the use of the British and English flags as symbols. Large numbers of them have recently appeared in public spaces across the UK. While their advocates claim the flags simply express national and patriotic pride, others point out that their pairing with racist violence and abuse implies the symbols stand for more than just that.
