USAID row: Congress slams BJP, demands white paper
The grand old party also said that the “white paper” should not only focus on USAID funding, but all such agencies which fund both Governments, individuals and all other entities under Indian law.
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Friday hailed his party’s decision to withdraw the petition challenging Rajya Sabha Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu’s rejection of an impeachment motion against Chief Justice Dipak Misra.
“Good and wise decision of Congress not to pursue impeachment issue with Cong MPs in SC any further,” he tweeted.
