The caption accompanying the viral image reads, “For the last four days, everyone was worried about whoch foreign country Rahul Gandhi had travelled to. No one knew his whereabouts. Now see this highly condemnable and extremely shameful act by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. He attended the wedding of the son of India’s biggest enemy George Soros.
