Ready to go alone to Sambhal with police but not allowed: Rahul Gandhi

GHAZIABAD (UP): Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, who was stopped at the Ghazipur border here on Wednesday, said he was ready to go alone to Sambhal with police but was not allowed.

The Rae Bareli MP, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other senior Congress leaders reached the Ghazipur border in the morning where heavy police force was deployed and barricades put up to stop them from entering Sambhal. Rahul Gandhi later left for Delhi.

“We are trying to go to Sambhal. Police is refusing, not allowing us. As the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, it is my right to go… I said that I am ready to go alone, I am ready to go with the police but they did not accept that either,” Rahul Gandhi said.
