Earlier in the day, Former Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Anurag Thakur took a jibe at the Congress amid the ongoing controversy in connection with the National Herald case.
Thakur stated that Congress "trembles" after hearing the name of the National Herald.
"The Congress party time and again tries to launch and fails - I am talking about National Herald. The entire ecosystem of the Congress party began to feel the sensation of Kapkapahat after hearing the name National Herald, and it's obvious because they have been caught stealing again. After independence, many scams done by Congress have come forward," Thakur said in a press conference here.
Taking a dig at Congress, he pointed out that the National Herald, a weekly newspaper that "nobody reads", receives more funding than daily newspapers. He also alleged that property given to run the newspaper in various states was "subsidised". (ANI)
