Congress president Rahul Gandhi has pulled up party leader C P Joshi for his controversial remarks. CP Joshis reported statement that appeared to suggest that only Brahmins could speak about Hindus had not gone well with the Congress president. Reacting CP Joshi’s reported statement, Gandhi said, was against the ideals of the Congress party .
The Congress president took to twitter to drive home his point
सी पी जोशी जी का बयान कांग्रेस पार्टी के आदर्शों के विपरीत है। पार्टी के नेता ऐसा कोई बयान न दें जिससे समाज के किसी भी वर्ग को दुःख पहुँचे।
कांग्रेस के सिद्धांतों, कार्यकर्ताओं की भावना का आदर करते हुए जोशीजी को जरूर गलती का अहसास होगा। उन्हें अपने बयान पर खेद प्रकट करना चाहिए।

कांग्रेस के सिद्धांतो एवं कार्यकर्ताओं की भावनाओं का सम्मान करते हुए मेरे कथन से समाज के किसी वर्ग को ठेस पहुँची हो तो मैं उसके लिए खेद प्रकट करता हूँ ।
