New Delhi: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday tendered an unconditional apology in the Supreme Court for wrongfully attributing to the apex court the ‘chowkidar chor hai‘ remark.
Gandhi has used it as a slogan during the election to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi the alleged Rafale scam.
In a fresh three-page affidavit, the Congress chief said he holds the Supreme Court in the “highest esteem and respect”, and sought closure of the criminal contempt proceedings filed against him by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi.
