We have some news just coming in.
00:07
The Congress giving a privilege notice against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
00:11
Congress says Shah casting aspersions on Sonia Gandhi.
00:15
Shah accused of maligning Sonia Gandhi's reputation.
00:18
Congress MP says Shah's remarks are false defamatory.
00:21
It's a privilege notice on the Home Minister.
00:25
Amit Shah cast lures on Sonia Gandhi, says the Congress.
00:29
Amit Shah had said Sonia led the Prime Minister Relief Fund in the UPA era.
00:34
Public funds were used by the then Congress Chief, is what Amit Shah had said.
00:40
It's fiery attack and the Congress has now fired back.
01:29
I'm going straight across to Piyush for more details on that story.
01:52
Piyush, take us to the details of what the Congress is now saying in the privilege notice
01:56
that has been issued.
01:57
Sonia Gandhi, Congress party is saying that these are fake allegations, defamatory allegations
02:04
and it's a breach of privilege and that's why notice has also been served, which has
02:08
been signed by Jairam Ramesh.
02:10
Remember that Home Minister Amit Shah was speaking during the reply on Disaster Management
02:15
Fund.
02:16
Mentioned that the Prime Minister's Relief Fund was formed during the UPA tenure and Prime
02:23
Minister's National Relief Fund was formed during the Modi government.
02:30
PM Cares Fund basically was during the Modi government.
02:34
So as far as the Relief Fund is concerned, then the President of the Congress party was
02:40
the member of that and the funds were used to donate to other organizations related to
02:45
the Congress party.
02:46
And after the statement which has been made by Home Minister Amit Shah, we are now seeing
02:49
as to how the Congress party has upped the ante and they are saying that these are unfounded
02:54
false and defamatory allegations and that is why they have moved a privilege motion
02:59
against Home Minister Amit Shah.
03:01
As of now, the government has not responded.
03:05
It is going to turn into a massive controversy where the Congress is now demanding answers
03:09
from Home Minister Amit Shah.
03:11
We'll have to wait and watch how the government is going to respond to this.
03:15
But yes, the Congress is saying that the allegations that have been levelled by Amit
03:20
Shah are unfounded and it's an attempt to malign the image of Sonia Gandhi.
03:25
All right, Piyush, getting in those details, as far as that notice from the Congress against
03:30
Home Minister Amit Shah is concerned, this has got to do with Amit Shah's comments against
03:34
Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the then Congress President, in which he spoke about the Prime Minister's
03:40
Relief Fund and he said she in a way managed that, is what he said.
