A video clip allegedly shows Rahul Gandhi being introduced on Pakistani TV. In the video, a person can be seen reading out from a graphic and making fun of Rahul Gandhi on his personal and political life. We will fact-check this claim through this article.
Claim: The video shows Rahul Gandhi being introduced & ridiculed on Pakistani TV.
Fact: This video clip is from a podcast hosted by an Indian YouTuber named Sham Sharma, not from a Pakistani TV show. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.
Firstly, we observed a few names written alongside persons in the viral video, i.e., the names of the speakers/hosts and the name of the show, ‘The Sham Sharma Show.’
Taking this as a clue, we performed a keyword search on the internet looking for ‘The Sham Sharma Show’ episodes. Through this search, we learned that Sham Sharma is an Indian YouTuber who makes videos related to various topics on the news on YouTube channels, The Sham Sharma Show, The Sham Sharma Show-Global, Instagram, etc.
Further, we looked for the viral video clip in his podcasts and videos and found it on ‘The Sham Sharma Show-Global.’ This was part of a live stream titled ‘Ramcharitmanas Controversy | Budget? SSS Podcast.’ The part in the viral video appears at the 52:08 mark.
To sum up, a video clip from an Indian podcast is falsely being shared as visuals of Rahul Gandhi being introduced on Pakistani TV.
