Mamata Banerjee

The Congress on Monday claimed that West Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee want to save herself from raids by probe agencies and has thus struck a deal with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “defame” Rahul Gandhi and the grand-old party.

In a statement to news agency ANI, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury claimed that Mamata Banerjee was speaking on the directions of PM Modi as ‘didi’ and PM have made a deal “to defame the image of Rahul Gandhi and Congress.”

Chowdhury claimed that Banerjee wants to “save herself from ED-CBI raids” and is thus speaking against the Congress and Rahul Gandhi to make the Prime Minister happy.

The Congress leader was reacting to the West Bengal CM’s recent comments on Rahul Gandhi wherein she alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was portraying the Congress scion as a hero in their bid to divert attention from burning issues.

Addressing her Trinamool Congress (TMC) party workers during an internal meeting in the West Bengal’s Murshidabad district on Sunday, Banerjee accused the ruling BJP’s efforts to stall parliament proceedings in their demand for an apology from Rahul Gandhi, as an attempt to “make a hero” out of the Wayanad MP so that no one questions PM Modi.

Banerjee alleged that the BJP was trying to shift focus from current issues by stalling proceedings over Rahul Gandhi democracy remarks in the UK.

The second leg of the budget session—which began amid turmoil last week— has been marred by logjams as neither the ruling BJP, nor the Congress-led Opposition, are budging from their respective demands.

While the BJP are demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi over his comments on the Indian democracy during a recent speech in London, the Opposition has intensified its push for a demand asking for a Joint Parliamentary Probe (JPC) into the Adani-Hindenburg report.

The Supreme Court today ordered Yoga guru Baba Ramdev to apper in person and address Patanjali Ayurved’s misleading ads in two-weeks time. The Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved Acharya Balkrishna has also been called to speak.

The SC banned Patanjali Ayurved on February 27 from running advertisements for its medications, which treat a variety of conditions, including obesity, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and high blood pressure. It also served a notice of contempt to the Managing Director of Patanjali Ayurved Acharya Balkrishna and warned them not to criticise any medical system in the media.

Additionally, the court criticised the Centre for doing nothing and claimed that they were just sitting with their eyes closed.

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) submitted a petition alleging that Patanjali Ayurved had distributed deceptive marketing, which resulted to the issuance of the contempt notice.

A panel of Justices Hima Kohli and Amanullah noted on Tuesday that, in spite of earlier orders, no answer had been filed in the case.

In addition to requesting that Baba Ramdev appear in person, the court sent out a notice in which it questioned why he shouldn’t face charges of contempt of court.

Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who was representing Baba Ramdev, was questioned by the court during the hearing about why their response to the contempt notice had not yet been submitted.

The court said, they will now request his client, Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna, to show up in court. The bench said, both are required to appear in court.

The court announced that the case hearing would not be postponed. The Union Ayush Ministry received criticism by the bench for only filing a response one day before.

In response, the Centre informed the court that more time was required to prepare a suitable answer. The Centre was then requested to submit a new affidavit by the Supreme Court.
