      2017 Video Of Sonia Gandhi And Manmohan Singh Shared With False Claims

      A 2017 video of former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi meeting former Sri Lankan prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has surfaced with claims that Gandhi 'sidelined' Singh during his tenure.

      The video is viral with netizens alleging that Sonia Gandhi disrespected Manmohan Singh while the latter was in chair. BOOM found that the video is from April 2017; Singh however, was the prime minister of India from 2004 - 2014.

      The viral clip of 32 seconds has been tweeted with a caption, "Very disappointing video clip.. See how she sidelined the then PM MMS!."
