Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday unconditionally apologised to the Supreme Court for wrongfully attributing phrase ‘chowkidar chor hai’ to the court. “The Deponent (Gandhi) unconditionally apologises for the wrongful attributions to the Supreme Court. The Deponent further states that any such attributions were entirely unintentional, non-willful and inadvertent,” Mr. Gandhi submitted in a three-page additional affidavit. On April 10, Mr. Gandhi made the remark to media in reaction to a Supreme Court verdict allowing the maintainability of the Rafale review petitions. Mr. Gandhi had reiterated that the comment was made with rhetorical flourish in the heat of political campaigning.
