Amit Malviya had posted a fact check tweet on November 28. In this, a photo shared by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Twitter was tweeted on one side and a video related to the same photo was tweeted by Malviya on the other side.
A photo shared by Rahul Gandhi captured the image of a Haryana policeman charging an elderly farmer with a stick in connection with the farmers’ agitation. The photo also went viral on social media.

Saying that Rahul Gandhi is lying, Amit Malviya shared a video without calling it ‘propaganda versus reality’. “India has got an incredible opposition leader after a long time,” Amit Malviya had said in the tweet. Malviya had also claimed on social media that the police only raised a stick at the concerned farmer but the stick did not even touch the farmer.
Malviya’s tweet also shows a notification of ‘tampered’ content from Twitter.
Alt News, a fact-checking website, shared a large video of the incident. In this, the police are clearly seen charging the protesting farmers with sticks. After that, there was a big criticism on social media for making a false claim by sharing a video showing partial truth from Malviya.
