Rahul Gandhi is not a parrot, a Congress spokesperson said today, rebutting suggestions that he was silent on Anna Hazare issue.
He (Rahul), too is entitled to freedom of Expression. He will speak when he will feel like. He is not a parrot, Renuka Chowdhury said at the AICC briefing when asked why the party general secretary was silent on the recent developments involving Hazare.
Responding to questions on whether the party finds itself in a difficult situation on the Hazare episode in the absence of Congress President Sonia Gandhi , who is recuperating after surgery in a US hospital, she said there is no doubt we miss her terribly. We wish she has a speedy recovery and comes back soon. Till then we are trying to do our best, she added. To another question on why the Government appeared to lack a strategy on the Hazare issue even though Sonia had constituted a four member group to look after the party affairs.
The four member team is for the party. Should we handle even the Government, was the reply of Chowdhury, a former Union Minister. When repeatedly asked about the shifting stand by the Government on the issue, Chowdhury shot back asking you tell us what should we do.
