Congress should fulfil tax obligations instead of making allegations: BJP

The Congress should follow legal procedures and fulfil its tax obligations instead of levelling allegations against the Income Tax Department and the judiciary, the BJP said on Friday.

“A certain family of the Congress believes that they should be exempted from rules and that special laws should apply to them, but it is not feasible in modern India,” BJP national spokesperson Zafar Islam said in an apparent reference to the Gandhi family. The BJP’s reaction came after the Congress Friday said it has received fresh notices from the I-T Department, asking it to pay Rs 1,823.08 crore, and alleged that the BJP is in “serious violation” of tax laws.
