Rahul apologises to Supreme Court for chowkidar goof-up
New Delhi:Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday in an affidavit tendered his "unconditional apology" to the Supreme Court for "unintentionally" linking the top court in the Rafale review plea to his party's political slogan "cowkidar chor hai" aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Gandhi filed the three-page affidavit rendering the "unconditional apology".
He also requested the top court to close the contempt proceedings against him based on a petition filed by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi.
You can run but you can't hide! Rahul Gandhi finally apologises to the SC for his irresponsible remarks. Justice is a great leveller and Pinocchio's story is a great reminder! #maafkarosarkar
