Explanation
The ruling and opposition parties continued to debate over a wide range of issues, making the July 1, 2024, Lok Sabha session the talk of the country.
Here, BJP MP Anurag Thakur from Himachal Pradesh is shown in a 25-second video challenging the opposition. The MPs seated behind him applaud by pounding desks as he asks questions.“How many pages are there in the Constitution?” How many? Don’t say it’s ‘fat.’ Tell me how many pages are there? You have been roaming around with it every day. Haven’t you read it once? Whatever asked you only say ‘Samvidhan’, ‘Samvidhan’ and ‘Samvidhan.’ He further confronts MPs from the INDIA group, saying the party ought to ask for pardon for declaring a state of emergency in the nation in 1975. Additionally, we observe that the opposition MPs were displayed intermittently in the popular video.

राहुल गांधी बता नहीं पाए कितने पन्ने होते है संविधान में…

What’s the truth?
We began our study by looking up pertinent keywords and this directed us to the July 1, 2024, Sansad TV YouTube LIVE video. This video is captioned “Anurag Thakur’s Remarks | Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in 18th Lok Sabha.” This video is lengthy with a timeline of 1:15:45.
After watching the whole video, we discovered that the most popular part starts between timestamps of 56:44 and 57:01. Interestingly, Rahul Gandhi was nowhere to be seen in the video when Anurag Thakur was interrogating the opposition MPs. This indicates that the video has been altered and is being shared on social media with misleading information in an attempt to defame Rahul Gandhi.
Additionally, Anurag Thakur’s speech regarding the “Samvidhan” (57:16) is taken from the video, and the emergency portion (57:45) is added and edited to create a viral clip that spreads misleading information and causes more confusion.
All this information confirms that Rahul Gandhi was not present in the Parliament when Anurag Thakur asked about the number of pages in the Constitution. The circulated video is edited to include the visuals of Rahul Gandhi and is shared to falsely claim that he could not answer Anurag Thakur’s questions. In the original video, it is evident that he was not in the parliament.
Conclusion:
Thus, we conclude that the viral claim stating that Rahul Gandhi could not answer the question of BJP MP Anurag Thakur about how many pages are there in the Constitution is false. The video is circulation is edited and fake.
