Taking a jibe, the Congress leader said that like the branches of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, now the government should open branches of ED, CBI and Income Tax Department in foreign countries. Khera said, ‘When the country is presiding over the G20, what image is the Prime Minister presenting at such a time? The country has been made fun of all over the world.
He said, “When there is award and when there is praise, there is no conspiracy, but if the truth is seen somewhere, it is a foreign conspiracy… Start-up India is fine, but we will not allow ‘Startup India’ to happen. There should be no pressure of lotus on the pen.
The Income Tax Department’s ‘survey operation’ against the BBC continued for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. IT officials are believed to be making copies of electronic and paper-based financial data of the organisation. The Income Tax Department on Tuesday launched a ‘survey operation’ at the BBC’s offices in Delhi and Mumbai and two other related locations as part of its probe into alleged tax evasion.
