Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday met “Mohammad” Deepak of Kotdwar, who recently came into prominence for confronting Bajrang Dal activists. “Every human being is equal.
This is Indianness, this is the shop of love. Meeting with brother Mohammad Deepak from Uttarakhand – This same flame of unity and courage should burn in every Indian youth,” Gandhi said on social media after meeting Deepak Kumar at 10 Janpath in New Delhi.
The meeting has raised speculation that Congress is contemplating a move to field Deepak from Kotdwar assembly seat against Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha Speaker Ritu Khanduri.
Deepak Kumar later told reporters, “Rahul ji invited me. He introduced me to Sonia ji and also spoke with my wife over the phone. He told me that you have done a good job and I will come to Kotdwar and take a membership at your gym.”
