New Delhi, September 7: A Twitter war has erupted over photographs of Congress President Rahul Gandhi posing with pilgrims on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. Union Minister Giriraj Singh has questioned one of the photos, claiming it was a "photoshop" as it didn't have the "chhadi ki parchhai", the shadow of the walking stick that Gandhi is seen holding. To this, Congress social media coordinator Hasiba Amin tweeted asking the Minister to apply "basic science".

Pictures and videos of Rahul Gandhi with pilgrims on Kailash Mansarovar Yatra have been going viral over the social media. The visual proof has been put out amid trolls targeting Gandhi saying the claim of him being on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra was "fake". In the fresh pictures and videos being circulated on the social media, Gandhi can be seen clad in jeans, t-shirt and jacket interacting with pilgrims and posing with them.

Here's what Giriraj Singh tweeted

This is how Hasiba Amin responded

Gandhi was trolled by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters after he tweeted out images of landscapes during his Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. BJP supporters trolled Gandhi saying the photos tweeted by him were lifted from Google and were not clicked by him. Many trolls also claimed that Gandhi was faking the yatra and was out holidaying somewhere else.

Rahul Gandhi left for the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra on August 31 with a wish that he had made. On Friday, Gandhi tweeted a video of an enchanting landscape and captioned it "Shiva is the universe".
