Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday filed a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court in compliance with its order asking him to respond to the contempt petition filed by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi.
Expressing regret for attributing the ‘Chowkidar Chor hai’ slogan to the top court, Mr Gandhi said, ‘I regret to my comment.”
The Congress president has expressed regret but no apology in his affidavit.
Mr Gandhi claimed that petitioner BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi was seeking political mileage under the pretext of contempt petition.
The top court had rejected Mr Gandhi’s plea to close the criminal contempt petition. The apex court will hear the matter on April 30.
