Congress president Rahul Gandhi visited Amethi today and a strange incident over there has created a ruckus among the Congress leaders. The news stirred rapidly over all media channels in a controversial manner. The Congress party claimed that there was a failed assassination attempt made on Rahul Gandhi when a green laser dot was spotted on his forehead several times while addressing the media.
Later, it was clarified by the Ministry of Home Affairs that the green light was from a photographer’s mobile phone. Three Congress leaders, Ahmed Patel, Jairam Ramesh and Randeep Surjewala have registered an FIR about the issue with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. The video on the same has also been shared.
The Congress leaders wrote a letter to the Home Minister stating that ‘This is a cause of serious alarm and concern pointing towards a breach in the security of Congress President Shri Rahul Gandhi. All of us are deeply shocked and distressed at the possibility of the Congress president being targeted by a potential assassin. We urge you to immediately take note of this grave and unacceptable security threat as also the security lapse in the security of the Congress president.This is also an alarming lapse on part of the UP administration which is responsible for peripheral security’. The letter also mentioned the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi and asked for strict security to his leader.
