The notice has demanded that the Congress submit “prudent materials” except photographs within 12 hours of the receipt of the notice.
On April 28, the Congress has released a compact disc (CD) purportedly showing Modi in pictures with Fatta who was arrested in connection with an alleged Rs 1,000-crore hawala racket and dared the BJP's prime ministerial candidate to submit himself to an independent probe.
Claiming Fatta to be a “well known BJP supporter and a protege of Modi”, Congress party spokesman Randeep Surjewala had said that he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate of Ahmedabad and Surat which had unearthed a major hawala racket after raiding his residence.
The Congress CD was released a day after the BJP had released a video CD targeting Robert Vadra, son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, over his alleged land deals.
The Congress has already dismissed the charges as “trash”.
