Congress Does Damage-control on Rahul's Remarks


New Delhi, May 18 (PTI) With his comments on burnt bodies and rape of women in Greater Noida villages triggering a major controversy, Congress today initiated a damage- control exercise saying Rahul Gandhi did not say that 74 persons have been killed there.

Party General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi maintained that Gandhi merely repeated to the media what the villagers told him after meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday.

The party stuck to his demand that UP government should probe into the allegations of burning of men and rape of women.

"Whatever has come in media in unfortunate. Nowhere did he (Gandhi) mention the number of 74 or 74 bodies. Rahul Gandhi had only said that at one place an ash heap of 70 foot area was there in which bones were found," Dwivedi told reporters.
