Some of the people in this video claim that the Chinese have entered into Indian territory. Some even go on to say that they have entered 15 kms in to the Indian territory.
However, it has emerged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made his own party workers to make the propaganda video which he shared with the caption that implied that either the Prime Minister of India is lying or Ladakhis are lying.
Here are some of the persons who appear in the video, their background and what they say in the video.
