Apologise for sharing a doctored video of Rahul Gandhi or face legal action, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, said in a letter to Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president J.P. Nadda on July 2 and mentioned former Union Minister and Lok Sabha member Rajyavardhan Rathore as “someone who has persisted with spreading the fake video”.
Twitter too flagged a video shared by Mr. Rathore as “out of context”. In the video, the BJP leader claimed that Mr. Gandhi had referred to the Udaipur killers as “youngsters”.
Hitting back, the Congress accused that one of the Udaipur killers, Riyaz Attari, was a BJP worker and questioned if a probe by National Investigation Agency (NIA) was ordered to suppress this fact
