The former finance minister also said the Congress’ manifesto, released on Tuesday criticised the BJP-led government for its “one-size-fits-all approach” to the Non Performing Assets problem.

“Today, we are vindicated by the Supreme Court’s judgement,” he said on Twitter.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday quashed the RBI’s February 18, 2018 circular which directed banks to move against defaulters under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) on their failure to pay up within 180 days from March 1, 2018.
The apex court also quashed all IBC proceedings initiated by banks under the RBI circular against defaulters.
