Amid opposition demands for the resignation of the chief vigilance commissioner PJ Thomas, Congress today attacked BJP accusing it of constantly undermining constitutional bodies in the country.

"The issue is in the Supreme Court. But we should also pay attention to one point. The opposition, especially BJP, has consistently been attacking constitutional institutions and trying to bring their functioning under doubts. If constitutional institutions are weakened, it weakens our democratic values," party spokesperson Mohan Prakash said.

A senior party leader recalled that BJP had launched similar attacks on former chief election commissioners Naveen Chawla and JM Lyngdoh.

"CPI(M) and BJP have no right to attack CVC PJ Thomas, who was made chief secretary in Kerala even while the charge sheet against him was existing. A number of governments led by other parties also came to the Centre since then. But why nobody tried to begin the trial in the case?", a senior party leader said on condition of anoymity.
