Why no case against 'conspirator' Manmohan Singh: Congress asks Centre
The Congress party on Tuesday questioned as to why the Centre has not filed a case against former prime minister Manmohan Singh if it believed that he hatched conspiracy with Pakistan for winning the Gujarat elections.
New Delhi: The Congress party on Tuesday questioned as to why the Centre has not filed a case against former prime minister Manmohan Singh if it believed that he hatched conspiracy with Pakistan for winning the Gujarat elections.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's apology for accusing his predecessor Manmohan Singh and Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar of hatching a conspiracy with Pakistan for the Gujarat polls.
