Is bringing back black money anti-national, Gadkari asks Cong

June 04, 2012 14:53

In the wake of Sonia Gandhi's remarks against the Opposition and civil society, BJP president Nitin today said her charges were baseless and sought to know if the Congress feels Baba Ramdev's demand for bringing back black money is anti-national.

"Sonia Gandhi's allegations against Baba Ramdev are baseless. Is it anti-national to demand that Indian black money be brought back for the country's well-being? I feel she should not have done so. She should rise above party politics and work to save and free the country from price rise, poverty
and hunger", Gadkari said.

"I am very sad and it is unfortunate that on an issue of national importance such baseless allegations have been levelled for political gains. This is not proper and the people of the country will not agree with her", Gadkari said.
