New Delhi: Congress has reacted sharply to Delhi police arriving at Rahul Gandhi’s residence seeking details of women who told the leader about incidents of sexual harassment to him during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.
Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot claimed that police arrived at Rahul Gandhi’s residence after taking orders from Home Minister Amit Shah. He said, “Without Amit Shah’s order, it is not possible that police could show such audacity to enter the house of a national leader without any reason. Rahul Gandhi said that he has received the notice and he will reply to it but still, the police went to his house.”
Party president Mallikarjun Kharge said that all is being done to divert attention from the Adani issue.
“To divert from the Adani issue, they (BJP) are asking all these questions by sending the police. Rahul Gandhi & Congress will not get scared. No matter how much they try to save Adani, we will continue to question them,” Kharge was quoted as saying by ANI.
Reacting to the development, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera told reporters that he was allegedly not allowed to enter the road leading to Rahul Gandhi’s residence.
“Are they afraid of Rahul Gandhi, or are they trying to scare him? Either case, they are wrong,” Khera said.
Party MP Jairam Ramesh said that everything is being done to divert attention from the demand for a JPC probe on Adani stocks by the opposition parties.
“16 Opposition parties except TMC are demanding JPC but suddenly they (BJP) brought up an issue of what Rahul Gandhi said in London. They are presenting his statement in a distorted manner to divert attention from JPC and to defame Congress and Rahul Gandhi,” he told ANI.
He said, “It has been 45 days since Bharat Jodo Yatra ended. They (Delhi police) are going for questioning after 45 days. If they are so much concerned why didn’t they go to him in February? Rahul Gandhi’s legal team will respond to it as per law.”
