Will handle PMO-driven Herald case legally: Rahul

“I have full faith in legal system of this country and we will see in the end what comes out”.

Sibal said: “He (Modi) does Mann ki Baat everyday, we want he should do “dhang ki baat” (meaningful talks) also”.

Relentless protests by Congress members over its “vendetta politics” charge against the government in the “National Herald” case virtually stalled Rajya Sabha proceedings today, taking a toll of both the Zero Hour and the Question Hour.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took at a dig at the Congress interfering with Parliament and said that “democracy cannot function at the impulses and fancies of any individual”. “The kind of comments Rahulji is making, the only message nation is getting is that if country’s law and judiciary don’t kneel before Gandhi family the Parliament will not be allowed to work”, she alleged.

Asserting that BJP has no connection to this case, Gadkari said it is ridiculous that the Congress was falsely accusing it.

But the two sides were at loggerheads again on Monday after a judge ordered Gandhi and her son Rahul to appear in court in a case brought by a prominent member of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. The Congress have called the case a “proxy litigation” and alleged “political vendetta” by the NDA government. “The Congress is, therefore, crying foul and calling it political vendetta”, he said asking if the charge was against the courts.

Naqvi accused the Congress of posing as a barrier in the country’s development with its repeated chaos in the Parliament over this issue.

“Neither the erstwhile officer nor the present officer has issued any notice”, he added while responding to Chidambaram’s allegations that the ED officer was changed as soon as the Modi government came to power which led to suspicion of political vendetta. “We have clearly stated our stance to the government, we have three issues on which we differ with them”, he said. “If you feel there has been injustice then appeal in the High Court…, if not in High Court then Supreme Court”, he said, adding the Congress has stooped to the level that bills are being torn in the House.

“Sonia and the other accused, Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes, Sam Pitroda and officials of Young India, the company in control of the Herald’s assets, are expected to apply for bail but Rahul is likely to say it is a witch-hunt and refuse to take bail”, a source was quoted as saying by The Telegraph. Where he wrote without naming Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, that the Congress leaders created a ‘Chakravyuh for themselves through the series of financial transaction and tax exemption which was transferred to a real estate company.

The trial courtroom, giving aid to the Gandhis from private look on Tuesday, requested them to seem earlier than it on December 19.
