New Delhi: Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will apologise through a fresh affidavit for wrongly attributing the “Chowkidar chor hai” remark to the Supreme Court, his lawyer told the judges on Tuesday. The BJP had objected to the Congress chief’s earlier affidavit expressing regret, saying it does not contain an unqualified apology.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who was representing the Congress chief, said it was his mistake that the affidavit did not contain the word “apology” and a fresh one would be filed.
“I have checked the dictionary, regret means apology. (But) I will say apology,” Singhvi told the court.
“We heard all. After extensive hearing, Singhvi wants to file additional affidavit. It is open for the respondent to file affidavit. The acceptance of any such affidavit will be considered on Monday,” said the judges.
