Mehul Choksi out of Interpol’s wanted list: Congress criticizes Center

Congress on Tuesday slammed the central government after fugitive diamantaire Mehul Choksi’s name was removed from Interpol’s Red Corner Notice (RCN). The grand old party alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED)-Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are taking action against the opposition, while the fugitives are set free.

Taking to Twitter, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said, “ED-CBI for opposition leaders, but release from Interpol for our Mehul Bhai of Modi ji! When Parliament can be stalled for best friend, so the old friend who had absconded 5 years ago, Well how to refuse his help? Thousands of crores of the country drowned, and Na Khane Dunga became a unique phase!”

Speaking to the media before leaving for Parliament, Kharge said, “They are doing things to divert attention from real issues. Our embassies are being attacked. People who have run away with money from banks, Mehul Choksi, those giving protection to such people talk about patriotism, it is a joke.”
