SRINAGAR:
Taking a jibe on External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj over her statement in Parliament today, former chief minister Omar Abdullah said that assuming even one allegation made by her is correct, what does it say about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as no one was prosecuted during NDA’s over seven-and-a-half-year rule.
“Assuming even one allegation made by Ms Swaraj is correct what does it say about the BJP – in 7 1/2 yrs of rule not a single prosecution,” Mr Abdullah, who is the working president of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site Twitter.
He was referring to the statement made by Ms Swaraj in Parliament, in which she hit back on Congress over the deadlock in the both the Houses due to Lalitgate. “Go and leave, read Congress history from helping Ottavio Quattrocchi to Warren Anderson and then ask question to your mother. ‘Mumma, papa ne Quattrocchi ko kyu chudaya’,” Ms Sushma told Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, who had alleged that the External Minister had helped a fugitive (Lalit Modi), in Rajya Sabha.
“It was Rajiv Gandhi Government, which helped Ottavio Quattrocchi escape India. We never did anything secretively,” she alleged. Ms Swaraj also raised cases of conflict of interest of various Congress leaders during the UPA regime. (AGENCIES)
