Video of Rahul Gandhi on Modi's Foreign Policy Shared with Misleading Claims
A video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi discussing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's foreign policy is circulating with misleading claims that Gandhi made 'disgusting' remarks about Modi and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. In the clip, Gandhi questions Modi's approach to foreign relations, notably referencing hugging world leaders, and demonstrates this by hugging fellow Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit. The claim linking Gandhi's comments to Meloni is inaccurate, and the coverage clarifies the context without favoring any political side.
