Congress condemns registration of FIR against Sonia


New Delhi, May 21 (IANS): The Congress has condemned registration of FIR against interim chief Sonia Gandhi in Shivamogga in Karnataka for questioning PM-CARES fund. Congress said this "BJP dictatorial mindset is an attempt to threaten transparency."

Congress Spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill in a statement said "Registration of FIR against Smt Sonia Gandhi in Shivamogga Karnataka for raising questions on PM Cares Fund depicts BJP's dictatorial mindset."

"This is an attempt to threaten transparency, avoid answerability and exposes BJP nervousness on audit of the Fund," added Shergill.

The FIR registered by K V Praveen an advocate alleged that Congress party shared misleading tweets about PM-CARES fund on May 11 under Section 153/505 IPCA

Congress has been questioning the fund and had demanded its audit.

Party spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi in the past had said: "Our only worry with PM Cares Fund is that it's not being spent on the victims of Covid-19 which use can be both direct and incidental."

"We only demand an independent audit by CAG or any other credible independent agency and daily updates. Not too much to ask from a public fund," added Singhvi.

    If the FIR is filed in Shivamoga then certainly it has the approval of Yeddurappa being his home town. The BJP/ RSS will stoop to such street level politics is a known fact and misusing the police, the income tax, enforement directorate and CBI against political opponents is well known.

    High time we throw out this BJP Govt at the centre and in Karnataka so that principled politics are practised and political parties dont resort to such cheap tactics of witch hunt against political opponents.

    These facists forces should be thrown out of our country. Democracy is in great danger in our country.

    I don't understand what kind of mindset you people having? Questioning accountability of public fund is it wrong? Beware Modi is not permanent as is Hitler. Harrasing opposition each and everything looks good for you but mind you it will attack u also one day very soon, so you too enjoy now
