'Will apologise': Rahul Gandhi to file fresh affadavit over 'Chowkidar chor hai' misquote after being pulled up by Supreme Court

Firstpost  

Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who was under fire from the Supreme Court for attributing the ‘Chowkidar Chor Hai’ jibe to it, apologised to the court on Tuesday. The dictionary meaning of regret is same as apology: That was Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s closing argument in the contempt case against Rahul Gandhi — for wrongly attributing is C_howkidaar chor hai_ jibe to the Supreme Court — which allowed him the opportunity, courtesy of the bench, to file a rectified affidavit by 6 May. It was never my intention to suggest that the Supreme Court endorsed, adopted or supported the political slogan ‘Chowkidar chor hai,’" Singhvi told the court on behalf of Rahul, during the 30-minute proceedings which took place under intense media glare. The Supreme Court allowed Rahul to file a new affidavit on Monday after Singhvi assured the bench Rahul would apologise and that the rectified affidavit would contain the word apology.
