Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday offered “Sewa” after paying obeisance at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. As a part of the “Sewa”, the Congress leader was seen washing dishes at the Golden Temple.
Earlier today, Punjab Congress president Raja Waring said that Rahul Gandhi is on his personal and spiritual visit. “Rahul Gandhi ji is coming to Amritsar Sahib to pay obeisance at Sachkhand Shri Harmandir Sahib. This is his personal, spiritual visit, let’s respect his privacy. Request all party workers not to be physically present for this visit. You all can show your support in spirit and meet him the next time,” the Punjab Congress president posted on X (formerly Twitter). Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Punjab comes after the arrest of Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira in connection with a 2015 drugs case as a “political vendetta”. A Punjab court on Saturday sent Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira to 14-day judicial custody in connection with a 2015 drugs case.
“The police demanded a 7-day remand. After seeing the police’s evidence, the judge turned down their request. The court sent him to judicial remand of 14 days,” the counsel said.
Congress MLA Khaira was arrested from his Chandigarh residence on 28 September in connection with an old case registered in 2015 under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
