Even as controversy surrounded Rahul Gandhi after Pakistan quoted him in their letter to UN, a light moment or a somewhat bizarre incident caught the attention while the leader was on the way to his constituency Wayanad to review the flood situtaion there. As the convoy of Rahul Gandhi went forward in Wayanad amid supporters surrounding his vehicle, and frequently hanging around his vehicle to shake hands with him, a man leaped forward and kissed him. Rahul Gandhi was seated at the front seat of his car and the window was open as he was shaking hands with supporters. A man first held his hand and then leaped forward to kiss him with the security personnel dragging him back as soon as he placed his kiss on Rahul's cheek. The entire incident was captured as media demanded answer from the leader on his earlier tweets.

Rahul Gandhi evades question

As Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was confronted by media on his way to his Wayanad constituency on Wednesday, after Pakistan quoted the leader in their letter to United Nations Security Council, he chose to evade the question. This was hours after Rahul Gandhi posted a series of tweet in an attempt to damage control over his repeated remarks questioning the situation in Kashmir. After the abrogation of Artcile 370, Rahul Gandhi has also tried to visit Kashmir and indulged into a verbal clash with the Jammu and Kashmir's governor Satya Pal Malik. When he was confronted on Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi evaded the question and said: "I have already tweeted everything."
