Congress Hits Back After Yes Bank's Rana Kapoor's Allegations Against Gandhis

Rana Kapoor has "cleverly accused people who are not alive", a Congress leader said today in response to the Yes Bank co-founder's allegations against veteran leaders of the grand old party, the late Murli Deora and Ahmed Patel. Kapoor, an accused in a money laundering case, has told the Enforcement Directorate that he was "forced" to buy an M F Husain painting from Congress's Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and the sale proceeds were utilised by the Gandhi family for the treatment of party president Sonia Gandhi in New York. The statements are part of a supplementary chargesheet filed by the central agency in a special court.
