'Snooping' row: Congress trying to use it as an excuse to relaunch Rahul Gandhi

Firstpost  

Congress thinks it has found an issue it can use against the Modi government, which it can also use as a platform to re-launch its missing leader, Rahul Gandhi. The Congress party thinks it has finally found an issue it can use against the Modi government, which it can also use as a platform to re-launch its missing leader, Rahul Gandhi. Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi was perfectly right to term the unannounced visit of Delhi Police ASI Shamsher Singh at Rahul Gandhi’s official residence with a security review proforma “theatre of the absurd”. The party’s intention in this regard was more than clear, when Singhvi said, “This kind of political espionage, snooping, surveillance and intrusion into a political opponent’s life may be the Gujarat model but not the Indian model…We demand a detailed explanation from no less than the home minister and Prime Minister because this issue has far reaching implications and cuts through the very roots of democracy.” The issue could potentially shift public attention or criticism from the perpetually missing Rahul Gandhi, and is clearly aimed at portraying him as a victim who is being singed out by the Modi government for whatever reason. The Congress knows that it will not get anything by hitting out at the Delhi Police and is thus blaming Modi and the Home Minister Rajnath Singh for snooping on Rahul Gandhi.
