New Delhi: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday drew flak from the Supreme Court over his fresh affidavit in which he did not directly admit his mistake for incorrectly attributing the allegedly contemptuous "chowkidar chor hai" remark to the apex court in the Rafale verdict.
"When you commit mistake, you should admit the mistake," said a bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi.
It pointed out that at one point, Gandhi is admitting the mistake and at another denying having made the contemptuous remarks. "We have great difficulty in understanding what you want to say in the affidavit," said the bench, also comprising justices S K Kaul and K M Joseph.
The bench, which gave another opportunity to Gandhi to file a better affidavit relating to his remark, said, "You make the statement and then justify it."
