Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today brushed aside the Centre's explanation on the alleged snooping of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, asking why the Union Home Ministry did not come out with it immediately.
He wrote on Twitter,
If the explanation 4 the "snooping" is correct then 2 questions - why didn't MHA offer this explanation about 500+ profiles immediately 1/2
- Omar Abdullah (@abdullah_omar) March 16, 2015The Union Home Ministry had earlier said that the enquiries made by Delhi Police officials were "routine", carried out by the police for years and that the same had been done in the case of the Prime Minister, the Home Minister and BJP chief Amit Shah, veteran leader LK Advani, and other senior opposition leaders like M Veerappa Moily, Naresh Agarwal, and K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Mr Abdullah, however, also questioned if Congress had scored a "self goal" by trying to make an issue that had a simple explanation.
And 2nd has the Congress managed to score a self goal by trying to make an issue out of something with a patently simple explanation 2/2
