Bihar Cong stages protest over freezing of party's bank accounts by I-T dept

Congress workers in Bihar on Monday staged a protest here against freezing of the party’s bank accounts by the Income Tax Department, a move they blamed on the ruling BJP at the Centre.

 

Congress activists led by legislature party leader Shakil Ahmed Khan held the demonstration at the Income Tax roundabout in the city, carrying placards and raising slogans against the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.

 

Talking to reporters on the occasion, Khan alleged that the BJP is “trying to squeeze the finances of opponents while ensuring that its own coffers overflowed, thanks to opaque things like electoral bonds”.
