Earlier in the day, before meeting Rahul Gandhi, the Special CP said, "We have come here to talk to him. Rahul Gandhi gave a statement in Srinagar on January 30 that during Yatra he met several women who told him that they had been raped. We are trying to get details from him so that justice can be served." The police took cognizance of the social media posts and sent a questionnaire asking the Wayanad MP "to give details about women who approached him regarding sexual harassment".
In the final leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar, Rahul Gandhi had reportedly said that during his country-wide Yatra, he has heard various narratives about women still being sexually assaulted. The Delhi Police, in turn, asked him to give their details so that they can provide security to them.
Rahul Gandhi has invited a lot of ire from the ruling BJP for questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi's association with business tycoon Gautam Adani. Citing media reports, Rahul alleged that the Adani Group got contracts from foreign nations immediately after Modi's trips to those very foreign nations. On several occurrences, the Prime Minister was spotted travelling with Adani on his trips to foreign nations.
The Congress has demanded a joint parliamentary probe into alleged stock manipulations by the Adani Group, ever since the Hindenburg report came to light. However, the Parliament has remained dysfunctional ever since amid ruckus created by the Opposition parties on the Adani issue.
