New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday submitted an apology over Rafale remark in Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Rahul Gandhi had in his earlier affidavit merely expressed a soft regret for connecting SC order over Rafale to his political taunt against PM Modi.
Ahead of Friday hearing, Rahul Gandhi files a three-page affidavit rendering unconditional apology and requesting the SC to close the contempt proceedings initiated on the basis of a petition filed by BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi.
