Congress trying to influence, pressurize law enforcement agencies: Nadda
New Delhi, July 28: Reacting to protests over ED questioning Gandhis in the National Herald case, BJP chief J.P. Nadda on Wednesday said that the Congress party is trying to influence and pressurize law enforcement agencies in order to shield the truth.
Nadda suggested that if Congress is not happy with the investigation of our law enforcement agencies, they are free to approach courts. “The Congress party which is holding protests over the investigation into corruption cases against their top leadership, it is not ‘satyagraha’ but it is ‘duragraha’ in support of lies and corruption,” he said.
Nadda stated that to protest against our law enforcement agencies and to try and sabotage the investigation into corruption cases proves that the Congress party is legally on a weak footing in the cases of corruption and they do not want the truth to come out.
“The Supreme Court has recently passed a judgment on the powers and jurisdiction of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and the Enforcement Directorate. The Supreme Court has upheld the PMLA and has also validated the jurisdiction of the ED. We honor and respect our Supreme Court and also our Constitution and our law,” the BJP chief said.
Nadda noted that Congress president Sonia Gandhi is being questioned by the ED in the National Herald scam involving thousands of crores of rupees and the Congress party is doing so-called ‘satyagraha’ against it.
“It is nothing but an unholy attempt to save the family. This is a political campaign to save one particular family. The Congress party is holding protests against the law enforcement agencies, the Congress party leaders are raising questions over our law enforcement agencies, all this is highly inappropriate and illegal. All this should stop immediately,” he said.
