Congress chief Rahul Gandhi with party leaders in New Delhi on Monday during a one-day nationwide fast organized to promote social harmony. The embarrassment started with the circulation of a photo of senior Congress leaders of the Delhi unit eating food at a restaurant earlier in the day, before joining the fast. “The fast was scheduled to begin at 10.30AM and we were busy with preparation till late night yesterday. Congress came under attack as both are listed as accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi. The message that goes out is that is there a communication gap or a concerted effort missing while organizing such events,” a senior Congress leader said requesting anonymity.
