This occurs many weeks before the general election dates for 2024 are announced.
Ajay Maken, a spokesman for Congress, called the action a “blow to the democratic process.”
Chief inverse party oppressed: Maken
In his articulation, Maken said, “A vote based system doesn’t exist; this resembles a one-rule party…the head resistance has been oppressed. We look for equity from the legal executive, media, and individuals.”
As per NDTV, the freeze results from an expense interest of Rs. 210 crore that the I-T department raised.
The Congress claims it is “politically inspired” and coordinated to upset the party’s political race arrangements.
Congress has filed a lawsuit, and Congress’s lawyer, Vivek Tankha, said that the move affected four accounts.
Maken claims that the party found out on Thursday that its accounts had been frozen.
He expressed that because of the freeze, the party has made a legitimate move.
The matter is as of now forthcoming before the Annual Duty Investigative Court, he added.
Timing of freeze raises doubts: Congress pioneer
That’s what maken said albeit the party presented its records 45 days late in the 2018-19 political race year, freezing the records is a drastic action.
He emphasized that such actions have been avoided in previous instances.
The Congress chief repeated that the planning of the freeze raises doubts about the thought processes behind the activities of the I-T division.
Banks taught not to acknowledge or respect Congress’ checks
As per reports, banks have been told not to acknowledge or respect Congress’ checks, with the frozen assets to be submitted to the I-T office.
“At the present time, we have no cash to spend. Power bills, staff compensations, our Nyay yatra, everything is affected,” he said.
“We have just a single Dish, and the four records are totally connected,” he added.
