I-T notice to Congress is warning to all political parties, says P. Chidambaram

The Hindu  

The Income Tax department's notice to the Congress, imposing a penalty of ₹135 crore, was a warning to all political parties in the country and the public too, of the BJP's intention to destroy the parties, former union minister P. Chidambaram alleged on Saturday. "The BJP government imposed a fine of ₹135 crore on the Congress party though the saffron party obtained ₹8,250 crore through electoral bonds. This is a warning to the political parties and people that the BJP wants to destroy all the parties," Mr. Chidambaram told reporters in Pudukottai. This warning is for everyone," the senior Congress leader said and added that people would soon realise this.
