Claim: Video showing Rahul Gandhi asking people to bang utensils and switch on mobile phone lights in the middle of his speech while addressing a public meeting.
Fact-check: A clipped video of Rahul Gandhi's speech criticizing PM Modi's measures during COVID-19 is being shared with a false narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: on 16 november 2023, rahul gandhi addressed a public meeting held in nohar city of hanumangarh district in rajasthan. the original video of rahul gandhi's speech has been clipped between specific timestamps and shared with a false narrative. in the original video, we can clearly see rahul gandhi criticizing pm modi for his handling of the covid-19 pandemic. he referred to modi's call for citizens to bang thalis  and switch on mobile phone torchlights during the crisis. gandhi questioned the effectiveness of such actions when people were suffering due to oxygen shortages and lack of medical treatment. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
