The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday said the income tax authorities sending Robert Vadra a notice over his controversial land deals in Haryana is a natural administrative process.
“I think it is a natural administrative process and it is the responsibility of the tax authorities to send notices and seek answers to all cases where windfall gains have been made. The issue concerning Robert Vadra’s firm, I think is in black and white; he has made several crores in windfall gains in just one transaction,” BJP spokesperson G V L Narasimha Rao told ANI.
“The entire details of these transactions are in public domain. So, if the tax authorities have sent him a notice, I would consider they have done their duty and he would have an opportunity to explain his position,” he said.
Rao also took a jibe at the Congress party, which often claims that Vadra is a private citizen.
“He is like any other ordinary citizen, like the Congress party keeps claiming, so he is duty bound to explain how he has made these windfall gains,” he said.
According to reports, a notice has been sent to Vadra’s firm, Skylight Hospitality, seeking details of its financial and land deals. The authorities have given Vadra two weeks to respond.
