New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Tuesday said that the BJP is targeting Home Minister P Chidambaram as he refused to slow down the NIA investigation on Right-wing terror.
Slamming the BJP on social networking site Twitter, Digvijaya tweeted, "Chidambaram is being targeted by BJP as he refused to slow down NIA investigation on Sanghi terror. Keep it up PC don't be bullied by them."
The BJP-led NDA met on Monday evening and decided to boycott Chidambaram and not allow him to speak in Parliament holding him also responsible for the 2G scam. They demanded his resignation and asked the Prime Minister to ensure his exit from the Council of Ministers.
The decision on Chidambaram would be a repeat of what the Congress did to George Fernandes, who returned to the Cabinet of Atal Behari Vajpayee even when a Commission was enquiring into the Tehelka Arms expose issue on fake arms deals in 2001.
However, Congress has attacked the opposition on its decision against Chidambaram saying it was part of the NDA's tactics of "destructive disruption" of Parliament.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi and party's other top brass held a strategy session.
Parliamentary affairs minister Pawan Kumar Bansal has already expressed government's readiness to discuss any issue and appealed to the opposition to help cooperate the government in passage of important legislations, including theLokpal Bill.
