Ramesh on Rahul's ISI-Muzaffarnagar riots remarks

Senior Urdu journalists today conveyed to Congress leader Jairman Ramesh that the community was hurt by Rahul Gandhi's remarks about ISI getting in touch with Muzaffarnagar riot-hit youth and suggested that the Congress Vice President should apologise.
In response, Ramesh acknowledged the controversy created by the remarks and said what they have suggested may be considered.
He said even some of his non-Muslim friends had expressed dismay over the ISI comments.
Ramesh, however, said Gandhi's intention was never to hurt anyone.
Gandhi had triggered a controversy and slammed by the opposition for his remarks last month that Pakistan's ISI was in touch with Muzaffarnagar riot victims.

He was served a notice by the Election Commission on October 31 on the charge of model code violation by over his remarks.
Gandhi had pleaded not guilty to the charge while seeking to justify his controversial remark.
