It said a reply to the EC notice will be submitted on Tuesday wherein the same line of argument will be furnished.

"The text (of Gandhi's speech) is for everybody to see. No names appear in the text," Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi said in Delhi.

The comment assumes significance as Singhvi had on Saturday said that Gandhi's comment about 'merchant of death' was about Modi and the party was not apologetic about it.

"Of course, she did. You can read that statement," Singhvi had told reporters when asked whether or not the Congress President's remark was about Modi.

Earlier, senior Congress leader and Union Minister Kapil Sibal had said Gandhi had not referred to anyone in her speech during election rally in Gujarat.
