AgustaWestland deal: Cong plans to move appropriate motion against PM Modi for remarks on Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi: Acting over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's allegation during an election rally that an Italian court had named Sonia Gandhi in the AgustaWestland chopper bribery case, Congress is planning to move an appropriate motion against him. 

Earlier today, Congress leaders questioned how could PM Modi make such allegations when the Defence Minister had not stated this in his reply to debates on the controversy in both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha last week, and sought to know which court was Modi quoting.

The Congress leaders shouted slogans against PM Modi disrupting the Rajya Sabha today and demanded an apology from him for his claims on Sonia Gandhi. 

The party members said when the government, during the reply to debate on the controversy in both Houses, did not draw any reference to Gandhi, how could the Prime Minister make a such a statement outside, and that too when Parliament was in session.
