The Congress challenged the BJP’s contention that the Delhi High Court’s refusal on Friday to stop an income tax investigation into Young Indian , a company of which the Congress’s top leaders, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are the majority stakeholders, was a setback to the p party.
Indeed, Congress’s counsel in the case and party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi slammed the Modi government, expressing his astonishment at the extent of “misinformation and distortion which has been going on since today forenoon in regard to the court proceedings of Young Indian ”.
Mr. Singhvi said: “We will now go back to the assessing officer and can raise objections, including challenge re-opening income tax investigations, as the IT department doesn’t have enough evidence to probe Young Indian .”
Accusing the ruling party of distorting the proceedings in court, he referred to an “unsigned note” allegedly put out by the government: “We have a note which is the government’s version of what happened regarding the judicial challenge in the Income Tax matter of Young Indian .”
