Abhishek Bachchan on the Congress party opposing his hosting the BJP's 2nd anniversary bash: "He (Amitabh Bachchan) is not hosting any political event. He is part of a function where hes talking about educating the girl child, that's not a political event," Abhishek said.

The Congress has raked up the Panama Papers controversy to ask why Amitabh Bachchan has been chosen to host a mega show in Delhi to celebrate the Modi government's two years in power.

"We want to question Modiji...he promised to bring back black money, promised to punish each person who was involved. Would it not send a wrong message to all investigative agencies when a person accused of money laundering is seen hosting a program to celebrate two years of the Modi government?" asked the Congress' Randeep Surjewala today, prefacing the comments with, "Everyone in India loves Amitabh Bachchan as an artist and as an elder".

"He has denied charges and he may be proved innocent, but for now it sends the wrong message," Surjewala asserted
