New Delhi:
Congress leader P Chidambaram addressed the media on the Sushma Swaraj and Lalit Modi Row.
Here are the highlights:
- The session started with acrimony and ended with acrimony.
- They did everything except answering crucial questions about favours being given to Lalit Modi
- Why are Mr Jaitley and Mr Swaraj quoting selectively from the letters instead of releasing the full text of the letters?
- We will continue raising questions and demand answers
- They did everything except answering crucial questions that arose out of Sushma Swaraj's intervention
- Why didn't Sushma Swaraj turn to Mr Jaitley to confirm her allegations? It would've given her a rude shock
- We demand an apology from Sushma Swaraj
- On GST:
- The BJP was unclear about its objections to the Goods and Services Tax or GST, the Congress has put them down in writing
- On his wife appearing as a counsel for a tax case:
- She appeared for the department, where is the conflict of interest
- Junior counsel of IT department engaged Mrs Chidambaram as senior counsel in one case for the department, not against.
- CBDT issued a statement deeply regretting embarrassment caused to the Finance Minister.
- On NITI Ayog:
- Last I know it was just two and a half people, not seen any policy or paper
- On Deporting Lalit Modi:
- Why are they playing hide and seek, why don't they release the letters
- Extradition is a legal trap, that's why I demanded deportation. Extradition would have taken 10 years in UK
- Look at Assange, they wasted fpur years in extradition
