'Plan to attack my residence': After calling Rahul Gandhi 'darpok' Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad makes big claim

Former Congress MP Shakeel Ahmad has claimed that his life is under threat days after he publicly criticised Rahul Gandhi, calling him a “darpok” (coward) and an insecure leader.

Ahmad, a three-time MLA and two-term MP from Bihar, said he was alerted by Congress colleagues that party workers had allegedly been instructed to target his residences in Patna and Madhubani on Tuesday under the guise of protesting by burning his effigies. Calling the alleged plan “undemocratic,” Ahmad raised the issue on social media and said he had been “secretly informed” about the threat.

In another post, Ahmad shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp group conversation in which members were allegedly discussing plans to burn his effigy over his remarks against Rahul Gandhi.
