Pictures of Congress leaders eating before fast exposes double-standard of Congress.

In what may further embarrass the Congress party and its president Rahul Gandhi, Delhi BJP leader Harish Khurana today claimed that several Delhi Congress leaders were seen eating at a restaurant in the city before sitting on protest and observing “fast” at Rajghat.

Khurana also shared the image which allegedly shows the Congress leaders taking the meal.

The image was further shared by ANI.


Khurana confirmed that the pictures were authentic and from today morning. “It is double standards by Congress leaders,” said BJP leader Harish Khurana, who posted the photographs on Twitter. When asked about the source and authenticity of the photographs, Khurana said that the leaders, including Ajay Maken, sat there from 9.35 am to 10.30 am at Chaina Ram Sweets located at Delhi’s Chandni Chowk area. “They were sitting in public. You can confirm from the halwai.”

When FinancialExpress.Com contacted the outlet near Fatahpuri Masjid, it was confirmed that the leaders did visit the shop in the morning. “Aaye the Maken sahab aur kuch log. Nashta kiya. Kuch Puri sabzi khaya un logo ne shayad.”

Congress is yet to react to the allegation made by the BJP leader.

The day-long fast today was called by Delhi Congress against caste violence and communalism.

Earlier, in the day, Congress was embarrassed after 1984 anti-Sikh riots accused Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler reached the fast venue. Both leaders were reportedly asked to leave the venue.

According to PTI, a Congress leader said that Tytler and Kumar were asked not to sit on the stage. Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala claimed BJP was seeking to create a controversy where none existed.
