The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) on June 11 submitted a memorandum to the President of India to restrain the Narendra Modi-led NDA government from using government enforcement agencies as a tool to silence the opposition. The memorandum was submitted in the backdrop of the Enforcement Directorate summoning All India Congress Committee President Sonia Gandhi and her son, Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi for questioning in a money laundering case, which was filed by a BJP MP in 2013.

Addressing the media today at what was termed a “protest press conference,” NPCC President, K Therie held that the BJP, since it came to power in 2014, have been misusing Central government enforcement agencies against political opponents in the nation. “After the rule of BJP, they have unleashed political vengeance, vendetta against the political opponents because they have no answer to what the political opponents are saying.”

According to Therie, agencies like the ED, NIA, CBI and even the police are being used against “Almost all the politicians in the nation capable of voicing against wrong, capable of standing for the Constitution, capable of voicing for the people.” In contrast, he claimed that the Congress has never resorted to such tactic in its entire history.

Therie also held Narendra Modi, who was then Gujarat Chief Minister, accountable for the Godhra incident. If the ruling UPA government had its way, he said that the then state government in Gujarat would have been dismissed. “But the Congress, although in ruling, we have only allowed, let the law take its own course,” he added.

“We believe in forgiveness and truth. We don’t consider vendetta, revenge as means and answer to solution,” he said.

Ranajit Mukherjee, AICC Secretary incharge of Nagaland said, “As we speak, our (AICC) leaders are being arrested by the Delhi police” for displaying solidarity to Gandhi. “But for what reason? We have a right to walk with our leaders. The ruling dispensation is so scared of Rahul Gandhi that they are too scared to even allow the leaders of the Congress party to walk with him.”
Meanwhile, in Nagaland, he said that there are “justifiable cases of the ED and CBI, which are not seeing the light of day.”

Mukherjee added, “Instead of bothering about employment, about education, about the GDP, the ruling dispensation continuously wants to use these diversionary tactics to take the minds of the people of India away from what should really concern them.”
