New Delhi, July 27 (TIWN) Reacting to protests over ED questioning Gandhis in National Herald case, BJP chief J.P. Nadda on Wednesday said that the Congress party is trying to influence and pressurise law enforcement agencies in order to shield the truth.

Nadda suggested that if Congress is not happy with the investigation of our law enforcement agencies, they are free to approach courts. "The Congress party which is holding protests over the investigation into corruption cases against their top leadership, it is not 'satyagraha' but it is 'duragraha' in support of lies and corruption," he said.

Nadda stated that to protest against our law enforcement agencies and to try and sabotage investigation into corruption cases proves that the Congress party is legally on weak footing in the cases of corruption and they do not want the truth to come out.  "The Supreme Court has recently passed a judgment on the powers and jurisdiction of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and the Enforcement Directorate. The Supreme Court has upheld the PMLA and has also validated the jurisdiction of the ED. We honour and respect our Supreme Court and also our Constitution and our law," the BJP chief said.
