evidence: "That Muslim League flags were hidden in the Congress party nomination rally yesterday indicates that either Rahul Gandhi is ashamed of getting support from the Muslim League or when he visits North India and visits temples, he will not be able to hide his association with the Muslim League," said Smriti Irani in Wayanad. [...] A major controversy erupted in 2019 after flags of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) were presented as Pakistani flags. Several social media users shared photos and videos of people cheering for Rahul Gandhi, alleging they had Pakistani flags with them. [...] The IUML flag was also mistaken as a Pakistan flag at a Congress rally during the 2018 Karnataka Assembly polls.
