Rahul Gandhi submits preliminary reply to Delhi Police over his alleged remarks during Bharat Jodo Yatra

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has submitted a preliminary response to Delhi Police in response to a notice served on him by the police seeking information on the alleged sexual harassment victims mentioned in his speech during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, a report said.

According to the report, Rahul stated in his response to the Delhi Police that he would provide a detailed response in the next 8-10 days.

“In his 4-page reply to police, he reportedly asked if any other leader from the ruling party who had carried out such a campaign (Bharat Jodo Yatra) was ever asked similar questions as asked from him,” ANI report said.

He further said that Rahul Gandhi in his preliminary reply to Delhi Police also stated that he hoped that this police action had nothing to do with the stand he took in Parliament and outside on various issues including the Adani case.

As per the report, Rahul further said, “You came to me on March 16 and I told you to give me 7-8 days, but you came back within two days. It was a 4000 km padyatra stretched to 140 days where I met lakhs of people. I need time to give details.

“Rahul further reportedly asked the police if they had acted in the same way with the leaders of the ruling party as they are doing in this particular case.

“Have you ever asked these types of questions to any other leader who has done this type of campaign from the ruling party or any other party?” the Wayanad MP said in his report.

However, the Delhi Police has said that the Congress leader has not shared any such information in his preliminary reply on which the police can take further action.

“Rahul Gandhi’s preliminary reply has been received but no information has been shared in this reply so that the investigation can be taken forward,” Delhi Police said.
