No amount of justification could get Congress President Rahul Gandhi off the hook and he ultimately had to agreed to tender an unconditional apology for attributing the remark "Chowkidar chor hai" to the Supreme Court. If you start your arguments on this affidavit, don't turn around and say I want to file a fresh affidavit." Instead, the court was incensed to note the justification that this statement formed part of his political belief. Singhvi argued the Court that Rahul has expressed regret and this essentially means an apology. It added that whether to accept Rahul's fresh affidavit will be considered on May 10.
