Claim: Update : Another video clip of former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot saying,"..when Mohan Bhagwat and Narendra Modi can speak about Hindu Rashtra, why shouldn't I speak about Khalistan.." is viral on social media. As debunked in the following article, the viral video is an edited clip from a speech of Ashok Gehlot from April 2023. In the original video, he was seen talking about Khalistani activist Amritpal Singh and how BJPs Hindu Rashtra idealogy led to the rise of people like Amritpal.
Fact-check: A clipped video is shared as Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot supporting the separatist Khalistan movement - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is clipped. in the original video, gehlot quotes singh's statements and points them as dangerous to the country. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
