Claim: Rajnath Singh requested people not to assault or throw shoes on their leaders campaigning for the upcoming 2022 elections in Uttar Pradesh.
Fact-check: 2017 statement of Rajnath Singh during Punjab election campaign is linked to the upcoming Uttar Pradesh elections - FACTLY
Verdict: bjp leader rajnath singh had made these statements during the 2017 punjab election campaign rally in abohar, punjab. following the incident of shoe-throwing at the then punjab chief minister parkash singh badal, rajnath singh made this request to opposition party supporters in punjab. the news article shared in the post is old and has nothing to do with the upcoming elections in uttar pradesh. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
