With a Delhi court accepting the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) closure report in a case related to the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the Congress has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal must apologise to it and the people of India for misleading the country.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said before 2014, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor Kejriwal and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had come together to “fabricate scams” like 2G and Commonwealth Games (CWG) to defame his party.
“Two very honest and dedicated leaders — Dr Manmohan Singh and Mrs Sheila Dixit — were falsely accused,” he said in a post in Hindi on X.
2014 से पहले, अरविंद केजरीवाल और भाजपा ने जुगलबंदी करके कांग्रेस को बदनाम करने के लिए 2G और कॉमनवेल्थ जैसे झूठे घोटाले गढ़े। दो बेहद ईमानदार और समर्पित नेताओं—डॉ. मनमोहन सिंह और श्रीमती शीला दीक्षित—पर झूठे आरोप लगाए गए।
2G का सच पहले ही अदालत में सामने आ चुका था। आज, कॉमनवेल्थ…

The truth of 2G had already come out in court and , the court accepted the ED’s closure report in the CWG case as well, Ramesh said.
“It is clear — both the allegations were false! Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal must apologise to the Congress and the people of India for misleading the country. Satyameva Jayate!” he said.
Congress’s media and publicity department head Pawan Khera alleged that for years, the BJP ecosystem weaponised lies to tarnish the grand old party over issues like 2G, CWG, Robert Vadra and coal.
The truth stands tall and their falsehoods lie in ruins, he said in a post on X.
Today, the ED filed a closure report on the so called CWG scam.

The court found no evidence of money laundering against Suresh Kalmadi — effectively giving him a clean chit in the 15-year-old case.
Special judge Sanjeev Aggarwal of Rouse Avenue Court observed that the prosecution had failed to establish an offence under Section 3 (money laundering) of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The court noted that since no offence was found despite investigations by ED, there was no reason to continue with the case. ED, in its closure report, pointed out that with the CBI’s closure report having attained finality, no offence of money laundering was made out due to the absence of proceeds of crime.
