National Herald case: Rahul Gandhi takes on PMO

But in the long run, the idea isn’t sustainable.

Sharma said that the party plans to counter the ruling BJP not only over the National Herald controversy, but also challenge it over what he called a prolonged misuse of state organs and selective targeting of its leaders.

“Non- functioning of the Parliament on this issue doesn’t seem to be proper to me personally”.

As Sonia Gandhi’s comment that she is Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law shows, she and her party have in mind the blunder committed by the Janata government in 1977 when it tried to implicate the doughty former prime minister in legal tangles.

So, the Congress’ complaints about the Centre not reaching out to the Opposition on GST falls rather flat.

“Parliament needs to pass an important bill like the GST”.

Nothing demonstrated the extra interest that the authorities have taken in the National Herald case more clearly than the transfer of an Enforcement Directorate official who had dismissed the charges against the Congress leaders. He said the case was an example of a “political vendetta at its worst”.

The current legal case – brought by BJP member Subramanian Swamy – alleges the Gandhis used $13.5 million of party funds to pay debts accrued by a newspaper business.

“The Congress is creating chaos in haste”.

The Prime Minister said laws made before independence were based on the premise that people should not be trusted.

There is now emerging evidence to suggest that Mrs Gandhi’s public response to the Delhi high court decision summoning her and all the other respondents to make a personal appearance on December 19 in connection with the National Herald case wasn’t spontaneous.

“100 percent political vendetta coming out of PMO”. He is the finance minister of this country. Not much can be achieved by registering protests on the floor of the House.

Naidu accused the Congress of “hijacking” parliament.

The National Herald case is a simple one. When a wedding was taking place in the house of Hima-chal Pradesh chief minister Virbharda Singh, CBI raided his house. Your issue is of two individuals, where do we come in the issue of two individuals. “We all know who is threatening the judiciary”, he added.

Both Sonia and Rahul were present in the House and the Congress chief was seen offering some suggestions to Kharge when he was speaking.

Jaitley said he conceded that the GST was an initiative started by the Congress party and said that the party, in supporting its passage, would act fair to its own programme as well as to the country. Swamy claims that Sonia and Rahul floated young Indian which sold related Journals constrained, publisher of national herald and the agency was close down through Sonia.

In fact, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi succinctly summed up Congress’ dilemma: “You have dug a well for yourself without figuring out any exit routes”.
