Claim: A photo captured during a public event where Jawaharlal Nehru was slapped by Swami Vidyanand Videh.
Fact-check: Jawaharlal Nehru was not slapped by Swami Vidyanand Videh for allegedly referring to the people of Hindu Arya Samaj as refugees in India - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shared in the post was taken in 1962, during a meeting of the congress party in patna, bihar. the photo shows a security person holding jawaharlal nehru to prevent him from plunging into a riotous crowd at the meeting in patna. there are no confirmed news reports indicating that swami vidyanand videh had slapped jawaharlal nehru at a public event. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
