The claim is false. There is no credible evidence that Rahul Gandhi called Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi the “defender of rapists” or the “most filthy man.”
Recent political criticism from Rahul Gandhi over education-related issues, including paper leaks and government policies, has primarily been directed at Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, not Pralhad Joshi. No verified speech, press conference, social media post, or credible news report supports the alleged remarks attributed to Rahul Gandhi about Pralhad Joshi.
Verdict: ❌ False – The statement is fabricated and misattributes inflammatory remarks to Rahul Gandhi without any credible evidence.
