Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that he will file a defamation suit against Congress president Rahul Gandhi for alleging involvement of his family in the Vyapam scam and Panama papers cases.
"Mr @RahulGandhi. You have been making patently false allegations of Vyapam to Panama Papers against me and my family. Tomorrow, I am filing a criminal defamation suit for maximum damages against you for frivolous and malafide statements," said Chouhan in a tweet.
During his two-day visit to the poll-bound state, the Congress chief had hit out at the Narendra Modi government at the Centre and the Shivraj Singh Chouhan regime in Madhya Pradesh, alleging failures on several fronts, including jobs and corruption.
He had claimed that the name of the son of 'mamaji', a chief minister, had figured in the Panama Papers but no action was taken against him.
Though Gandhi did not specifically identify the CM, he was possibly referring to Chouhan because he is popularly known as 'mamaji'.
"On one side, you have the watchman (apparently referring to Modi), on the other side you have ' mamaji '. The name of the son of ' mamaji ' figured in Panama Papers) Udhar Chowkidar, Idhar Mamaji. Mamaji ke jo bte hai, Panama Papers me unka naam nikalta hai," Gandhi said.
"The name of former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif appears in Panama Papers. In a country like Pakistan, he is jailed. Here, the name of the son of a CM figures in Panama Papers but no action is taken. (Nawaz Sharif Pakistan ke Prime Minister ka naam nikalta hai..Pakistan jaise desh me unko jail me daal dete hai. Magar Yahan ke chief minister ka beta, uska naam Panama Papers me nikalta hai to koi karyawai nahi hoti)," Gandhi added.
Earlier, Chouhan had denied his or his family's involvement in any recruitment test conducted by the MP Professional Examination Board, popularly known by its Hindi acronym 'Vyapam' (Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal).
