NEW DELHI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has sought 8 to 10 days of time for a detailed response to a notice he received from the Delhi Police for his remark during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, where he stated that “women are still being sexually assaulted.”
According to sources, the former Congress president, in his preliminary reply, has also questioned the “sudden urgency” demonstrated by the police after a delay of nearly 45 days.
In a four-page, 10-point reply to the notice, Rahul questioned the process and procedure adopted by the cops 45 days after his speech, sources said.
Calling the Delhi Police notice an “unprecedented action”, Rahul asked whether it was due to his stand on the Adani issue, sources said.
