News Claim: A message image on social media claimed that India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was slapped by Swami Vidyanand Videh in 1962 or failure on China war is not true.

When Nehru got a slap on the face ( virtual gan* pe laat ) by Swami Vidyanand Videh post 62 debacle .
Reason : Nehru in his speech had said that Aryas were refugees in India , hearing this Swami who was also the Chief guest got up went up to the stage and slapped Nehru , pulled the mike to him and said " The Aryas were not refugees they were my ancestors and they were original inhabitants of Bharat but your ( Nehru's ancestors ) were of Arabian descent and in your veins flow arab blood so you in fact are not the original inhabitants of this great Country ... if Sardar Patel was the P.M instead of you , we would not be in such a sorry state "

(बाद मे इन आर्य संन्यासी ने एक किताब लिखी नेहरू : उत्थान और पतन... जो 1963 मे बैन हो गई थी।)
Pic : Nehru after the slap wanting to retaliate but held back
