Telangana Mahila Congress Seeks Withdrawal of FIR Against Rahul Gandhi

Their leader, Errabelli Swarna, asked officials to cancel an FIR against Rahul Gandhi.

She asked for legal action against those responsible.
She also said cases were being filed when Rahul Gandhi raised issues about caste counting, women’s reservation and Adani.
