Kapil Sibal

Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Wednesday hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “dynastic politics” attack on the Congress, saying the PM himself comes from the Sangh Parivar without whose blessings no one in the country can occupy any public position.

Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Monday asked him to go to Balakot in Pakistan to check after the latter cited foreign media reports on “no losses” in the operation.

Citing international media reports of “no proof of militants being killed at Balakot”, Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Monday questioned BJP leaders how they could zero down on specific number of terrorists.

Advocate and Congress leader Kapil Sibal found himself on both sides of the fence on Tuesday. He was defending Anil Ambani in court as a senior lawyer, on the same day he was attacking the industrialist on the Rafale controversy outside.

Raising the decibel level a day before submission of the audit report on Rafale, the Congress party, alleging conflict of interest, accused Comptroller and Auditor General Rajiv Mehrishi.

Like a bad workman who blames his tools, the Opposition parties blame the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for their poor performance in elections. The latest onslaught against the EVMs was launched last week by the Congress Party.

There are such strong divisions in our highly polarised polity that even a basic agreement on the fundamentals of our constitutional system elude us. That is highly regrettable.

BJP leader N Ramachandra Rao said that that recent event organised in London where a self-proclaimed hacker Syed Shuja claimed that EVMs can be tampered with is a ploy of Congress party leader Kapil Sibal.

Congress leader Kapil Sibal lent further weight to the open and shut case of a cock-and-bull story about the rigging of the Electronic Voting Machines ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha poll.

A day after so-called cyber expert Syed Shuja said he was an ECIL employee who had designed the EVMs that were used in the 2014 elections, the PSU has denied that he had ever worked with them.
