The Delhi Police on Sunday issued a fresh notice to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi after they reached his house. He was served notice over his remark “women are still being sexually assaulted” during Bharat Jodo Yatra. The police had asked the Congress leader to provide the information of the victim so they could provide them protection. As per the latest update, the Congress leader has sought some time to provide details.
Rahul Gandhi seeks time
Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Sagar Preet Hooda said Rahul Gandhi said he needed some time to provide the information which the police asked for.
“We held a meeting with Rahul Gandhi. He said he needs some time and will give us the information which we have asked for. Today, we have served a notice which has been accepted by his office and if questioning needs to be done then we will do it,” news agency ANI quoted Hooda as saying.
“Rahul Gandhi said it was a long yatra and he met many people and needs time to compile it. He has assured us that he will give the information soon and we will begin our proceedings as soon as we receive the information,” the special CP added.
Congress slams Centre
The Congress has slammed the Central government’s move following Delhi Police’s arrival at Rahul Gandhi’s house.
“Bharat Jodo Yatra and Rahul Gandhi gave a safe space to millions of women to walk freely, voice their concerns & share their pain. Delhi Police’s cheap theatrics prove how rattled Mr Modi is with our questions on Adani. This harassment deepens our conviction to seek answers,” the Congress tweeted.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh questioned the delay in the process of approaching Rahul Gandhi to help the victims.
“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,” Ramesh was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
