Congress Senior minister Kapil Sibal said that the Congress has decided to go to court against an FIR filed against Rahul Gandhi in Uttar Pradesh. “We had got the permission,” Mr Sibal said, “even then it was known that it would be Shivratri.”
Yesterday, local officials in Kanpur objected to Mr Gandhi’s roadshow for allegedly violating the terms of permission – the Congress leader’s journey lasted six hours instead of two, according to officials. They also say that Mr Gandhi travelled through areas which were off-limits because of huge celebrations for Shivratri.
