Claim
Congress leaders including Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Vadra write letters and campaign about Gaza, but never speak against Pakistan.
“गाज़ावाजा के लिए बड़ी चिटियां लिखते हैं आप लोग। सोनिया गांधी जी वो धोलावोला भी लेकर आती हैं प्रियंका वाड्रा जी गाज़ा को लेकर। पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ आप लोग नहीं बोलते हैं।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The claim mixes a true premise with a false conclusion. It is accurate that Sonia Gandhi wrote publicly about Gaza (a June 2026 op-ed) and that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has campaigned vocally on Gaza. However, the assertion that these Congress leaders 'never speak against Pakistan' is contradicted by the record: after the April 2025 Pahalgam attack, Sonia Gandhi condemned the violence, the Congress Working Committee formally described the attack as 'masterminded by Pakistan', and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra pledged Congress support for any government action against the perpetrators; Congress MPs also joined the government's post-Operation Sindoor delegations presenting India's case against Pakistan abroad. The categorical 'never' makes the overall statement misleading.
