Attack on Vadra is attack on party

The India's ruling Congress party on Monday stood firm behind Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra saying any attack on him is an attack on the party itself.
“The attack is part of a well-planned conspiracy not against an individual but against the Congress and its leadership,” party spokesperson Rashid Alvi said in answer to a question.
Simultaneously, Finance Minister P Chidambaram ruled out any investigation into Vadra's business dealings: unless there was a specific allegation of quid pro quo or corruption.
Two of Congress' allies also came to its rescue. Union Agriculture Minister and NCP boss Sharad Pawar dared India Against Corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal to go to court if he could substantiate his allegations; Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad accused the latter of targeting Vadra “to get cheap publicity.”
Even BJP seemed unwilling to capitalise on the Vadra saga. On Saturday, its president Nitin Gadkari had told CNN-IBN in an interview: “I have no paperwork. I kept hearing about it but I had no evidence. I can't accuse anyone of anything without evidence, can I?” Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj, too, refrained from comment on her Twitter account.
