"Congress has done its duty in supporting The Associated Journals Ltd to help initiate a process to bring the newspaper back to health in compliance with the laws of the land. This support was extended by the Indian National Congress in the form of interest free loans from which no commercial profit has accrued to the Congress."
The Congress on Friday had dared the Janata Party chief to sue Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi contending that the onus to prove allegations lay with those who make these.
“If Swamy has guts, he should sue Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. It is for those to prove charges, who make allegations. If there is a violation let them take it to court,” party spokesperson P.C. Chacko told reporters.
Chacko's challenge came a day after Rahul Gandhi threatened to pursue “all legal actions” against Swamy dubbing his allegations as “utterly false, entirely baseless and defamatory”.
Chacko, however, refrained from giving a categorical reply whether the Congress would sue the Janata Party chief as suggested by Rahul Gandhi on Thursday.
“Future course is open to us. All options are open to us,” he merely said.
