Produce evidence against PMO: BJP tells Congress

“We are very keen to come before the court”, Singhvi told Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen, adding, “Please give us a date of your choice and that of the convenience of Dr Subramanian Swamy”.

In the Rajya Sabha, Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad alleged that a Director of Enforcement Directorate, who had “rightly” chose to close the Herald case, was transferred and a new chief appointed to “reopen” the case.

Unmoved by the relentless disturbance of the parliament by the Congress on the pretext of “political vendetta” against their leaders, Union minister for Finance Arun Jaitley on Thursday countered Congress allegations of political vendetta in the National Herald case and said “no one is above the law”.

Naidu, who also addressed a press conference, accused the Congress of using Parliament to “intimidate and silence” the judiciary after the Gandhis were not given relief by court in the Herald case. To make a charge of vendetta in this situation also amounts to casting aspersions on the judiciary.

Sources said that the ministers were unanimous in seeking a robust counter to the campaign of Congress which has attributed political motive behind the case. “I am Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law, I am not scared of anyone”. “It is a authorized problem and we’ll deal with it legally”.

“You are telling judiciary how dare you summon us”, he said.

Both the Houses of Parliament yesterday witnessed repeated adjournments following a ruckus by the Congress MPs over the National Herald case.

The BJP spokesman asked Congress to allow Parliament to function normally and allow passage of important bills. Congress members in unison alleged a “political vendetta” against their top leaders.

“Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad had said on Tuesday after the Delhi High Court judgment in the National Herald case that democracy is in danger”. In order to sideline the government in Parliament, the Congress has reached out to other opposition parties for support. Congress strategists think that this will actually lead to the generation of a “sympathy wave” in favor of Rahul with people seeing this as a vindictive act of the Narendra Modi regime against Rahul, his mother Sonia and the Congress.
