Delhi Police enquiry about Rahul Gandhi irks Congress

The BJP and the Congress parties got another good reason to cross swords. The Delhi police went to Congress party vice-president Rahul Gandhi’s residence and reportedly asked his staff some peculiar questions like what is the color of his eyes, what the color of his hair is etc. and it exactly hits the target.
Since, the media and the political circles are making fun about Rahul Gandhi taking leave from politics during the crucial period of budget sessions for no good reason, the Delhi Police enquiry about his hair and eyes color irks the Congress party. It spits fire on the Delhi police and the BJP government for snooping into VVIP’s personal life, who is having a ‘Z’ plus security cover.
“This is Gujarat's model, not India's model... We are not a police state, this is political espionage,” Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said. He further added, “We demand a explanation by no less than the Home Minister and the Prime Minister. We will raise this issue in the Parliament.”
Senior Congress leader PC Chacko says that the BJP is playing very cheap tricks to defame his party vice-president.
Delhi Police Commissioner BC Bassi has strongly objected the Congress party’s allegations of snooping into Rahul Gandhi’s personal life. He said “Our police officers didn't go there with malafide motive. It was a routine activity. Policemen left proforma with staff at Rahul Gandhi's house. Later they have also visited several ruling and opposition leaders’ houses including BJP senior leader LK Advani, Congress leader Veerappa Moily and the Telangana Chief Minister KCR for the same purpose. He said this is a regular practice conducted every year and the Congress party is also well aware about it. The
BJP replying to the Congress allegations, says it is trying to politicize this issue because it has no other issues in hand to talk about.
