Cong using pressure tactics in National Herald issue: BJP

Intensifying attack on Congress over National Herald case, the BJP has accused it of using “pressure tactics” by “obstructing” the Parliament to prevent further investigation in the matter.

“Congress leaders are trying to obstruct Parliament for their own interest. They are creating hurdles in the country’s progress and jeopardising people’s interests,” BJP national general Secretary Arun Singh said.

Asking Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to go to the court instead of holding Parliament hostage, Singh said “Congress leaders are simply using pressure tactics in a bid to prevent further investigation in the matter as they fear more damage if detailed probe is conducted.” 

He added that Rahul Gandhi had earlier threatened to file defamation suit and wondered as to why the Congress vice-president did not take any such step.
