New Delhi: While speaking in the Lok Sabha on Friday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi asked the public to solve a cryptic riddle involving the number 16.

‘A Nice Puzzle’
Rahul Gandhi introduced the riddle in the Parliament during debate over the Women’s Reservation and Delimitation Bills. As the Parliament listened intently, he said, “I am going to give you and everybody else a nice puzzle...People of India can try and see if they can solve this puzzle."
The Congress MP caused a bit of stir in the Lok Sabha as he continued, “Yesterday, I was watching the Prime Minister speak...low energy, broken, nothing transmitting. And I suddenly noticed, yesterday it was 16th of April."
Urging the MPs to listen to him without protesting, Rahul Gandhi added, "I was sitting here and watching. He was not able to engage…He was not able to engage because clearly trying to pass this bill was a mistake...because everybody knew there was a past panic reaction."
He further said, "So I was watching him and I saw on my phone the date, the 16th, of April, and I was like, ‘My god, how crazy!’ That's the number. Sixteen. This 16 number…This number is the answer to the riddle. Everything is in the number 16. Now if anybody understands what I am saying, please, send me a message."
He added, "On Twitter you can tell what it is," Rahul said, telling the public that the answer to their problem is in the number 16.
What Is The Answer?
Rahul Gandhi has intrigued the public with his cryptic riddle. Here are the possible answers:
Sixteen-Epstein?
Congress shared a video of Rahul's puzzle on social media. “Puzzle for all of you,” the party tweeted, adding, “(Sixteen sounds a lot like Epstein, doesn't it?)”
