Congress should also apologise to OBCs: BJP

The Congress has finally shown its faith in the judicial system and it should now also apologise to backward classes for “insulting” them, the BJP said on Sunday following reports that Rahul Gandhi will file an appeal against his conviction in a defamation case.

“This is a welcome step. Though delayed, the Congress has shown faith in the judicial system,” BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla told reporters at a presser.

Replying to a question, he noted that Congress leaders had been till recently protesting the court’s conviction of Gandhi by wearing black clothes and with “black intentions”.
