New Delhi [India], July 22 (ANI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday took a dig at the BJP-led government in an apparent reference to the income tax searches on the premises linked to Dainik Bhaskar group and said "writing truth is enough to intimidate a weak government".
"Writing the truth in ink on paper is enough to intimidate a weak government," Gandhi said in a tweet.
Thirty-two premises, consisting of residential and business premises spread over the cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Bhopal, Indore, Jaipur, Korba, Noida, and Ahmedabad were covered by the Income Tax department during the searches, government sources said on Thursday.
