NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: The BJP today mounted attack on Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul, questioning their “silence” over a claim in a media report that Robert Vadra had “links” with fugitive arms dealer Sanjay Bhandari.
While Vadra did not react to the media report, Congress spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala said Prime Minister Narendra Modi could get “any investigation” done into any allegations against the party chief’s son-in-law to find out if there was any “wrong doing”.
The BJP fielded Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to attack the Congress leadership over the media report which claimed that Vadra had “links” with Bhandari who had even booked tickets for Vadra for an overseas visit in 2012.
Sitharaman, while addressing a press conference in Delhi, asked, “Why senior leadership of the Congress, including Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, is keeping a studied silence?”
She said the silence of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul will be construed as acceptance of charges against Vadra.
Citing the media report, Sitharaman alleged that a London house linked to Vadra was refurbished by Bhandari, who also made arrangements for his travel abroad. (AGENCIES)
