"You get the loan sanctioned without collateral and if he has run away, you say he has run away. Who gave the loans? Who created the situation? Which Congress leaders he had relations with? The CBI is going to file a charge sheet and it will have the name of a former Finance Minister," he said.
Mallikarjun Kharge, leader of the Congress in the house, immediately asked how Dubey was aware of the impending CBI action and said it showed "all this is pre-planned."
"You people are doing this to fix (opponents)," he said.
