He drew a distinction between the BJP and the Opposition events’ cost that the Centre was misusing Central businesses, whereas talking at a conclave organised by the tv community, News18.

“I have been a victim of misuse of Central agencies. In the case dealing with fake encounter, 90% of the questions were about framing Prime Minister Modi. I was told by interrogators, why are you getting worried, just name him and you will be set free. I got bail, fought the case that had been transferred to Mumbai from Gujarat and was acquitted,” stated Mr. Shah.

“Neither the BJP nor the MPs of the BJP wore black clothes or jammed up the Parliament despite the fact that these were trumped up charges,” he stated. “It was the same Mr. Chidambaram, Ms. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi who were present at that time. In the Congress’s case, the Centre has not put any false cases, and the conviction of Rahul Gandhi is on a defamation case,” he stated.

“Where does this arrogance come from? (RJD leader) Lalu Prasad, late J. Jayalalithaa, Rashid Alvi were among 17 people who lost their membership, but no one created a ruckus. Why does the Gandhi family want a separate law for itself? The people of India need to decide if we need a separate law for one family,” he stated.
