Kapil Sibal withdraws tweet of 'collusion with BJP' after clarifying from Rahul Gandhi

Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal has withdrawn his tweet where he expressed unhappiness with Rahul Gandhi’s reported remarks at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting.

There were reports that Gandhi had said that the letter written by the group of people seeking overhaul of Congress was done at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Sibal was part of that group.

Party spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala quickly denied the reports about Rahul Gandhi’s statement.



“Sh. Rahul Gandhi hasn’t said a word of this nature nor alluded to it. Please don’t be mislead by false media discourse or misinformation being spread. But yes, we all need to work together in fighting the draconian Modi rule rather then fighting & hurting each other & the Congress,” Surjewala tweeted.

Soon after that, Sibal said he is withdrawing his tweet. “Was informed by Rahul Gandhi personally that he never said what was attributed to him. I therefore withdraw my tweet,” he tweeted.
