NEW DELHI: The central governments order of a probe into transactions of trusts linked to the Nehru-Gandhi family is a “natural” outcome of information brought out in the public domain recently, BJP said on Wednesday.
BJP general secretary P Muralidhar Rao also rejected the charge that the governments decision is politically motivated, saying it would not have waited for six years had this been true.
“These transactions are in public domain…Our government is committed to transparency. It is natural to investigate these transactions after so much information was recently brought out in public domain,” Rao told reporters.
He said the Congress leadership should cooperate with the investigation.
Hours after the government initiated a probe into the funding of three Nehru-Gandhi family linked trusts, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at Modi and said those who fight for the truth cannot be intimidated.
