Congress claims its bank accounts frozen by I-T: Fair probe or political vendetta?

A political showdown erupted after Congress claimed that its accounts were 'frozen' by I-T dept. Addressing a press conference, Congress Treasurer Ajay Maken said the Youth Congress party's bank account had been frozen. The development was confirmed by Vivek Tankha, Rajya Sabha MP and lawyer, who said he appeared for the Congress party before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal bench of Delhi.

Meanwhile, hours after Ajay Maken's claim, the tax tribunal said there were no restrictions on the party accessing its bank accounts.
