Rahul praises Singhvi for role as 'Sankat Mochan'

NEW DELHIl That he has been the Nehru-Gandhi family's chief legal troubleshooter was never a secret. But not many expected Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to confirm this publicly. Speaking at a meeting of lawyers and information rights activists here on Saturday, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha talked at length about MP and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi's role as the 'sankat mochan' for him and others in the family.

"You know, you know I have also dealt with a lot of lawyers, but he (Singhvi) is like a laser beam. He will get to the point instantly, and he will cut exactly to what the issue is," Rahul said at the conference, which also saw Singhvi playing the chief organiser.

Rahul referred to the cases that he faces and the help he gets from the senior advocate. "And, so I discuss these cases with him. And, it is very refreshing... he has told me the entire thing that I need to know," Rahul said amid applause from the audience.
