Fact-Check: Photo Behind Rahul and Sonia Gandhi Does Not Show Jesus Christ

Fact Check: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi shared a selfie of him with Sonia Gandhi, showing their inked fingers after casting their vote in the sixth phase of polling during the ongoing 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The photo has since been widely shared on social media with a false claim.

The claim: Those sharing the photograph took a dig at Gandhi calling himself a 'janeudhari brahmin', (thread-wearing Brahmin), while claiming that he had a photo of Jesus Christ in his room, but none of Hindu Gods.

Among those sharing this is X (formerly Twitter) user 'MrSinha_', who has spread misinformation in the past.
