‘Neither respect for history nor for facts’

Sharing the video of the Congress MP, a user (@KanchanGupta) wrote, “Rajputs are up in arms against Congress after Rahul Gandhi’s derogatory speech, which has accused him of unspeakable crimes. It is also important to note that Rahul Gandhi is completely unaware that the Constituent Assembly framed the Constitution. This video shows that he (Rahul Gandhi) respects neither history nor facts.”
