Author yuvamind

NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told on Monday that Income Tax Department has released notices in National Herald case and now it is its duty to evaluate the parties allegedly involved in it."When Income Tax has already released notices asking for details, Income Tax is under the duty to evaluate.

It has to assess Congress party, it has to assess the Associated Journal, and it has to assess Young Indian," he said.

"I have never said that process is not on. I have never said that process will stop or its not on. They issue notices, they hear assesses. These are quasi-judicial authority. I don ' t even know who is the assessing officer," he said when questioned why ED and Income Tax department were not taking action in the matter related to National Herald.

The Congress party has claimed the Enforcement Directorate under the Modi government had reopened the National Herald case after having closed it.

Congress has been protesting in Parliament on the National Herald issue alleging political vendetta after the Delhi High Court refused to quash summonses to its leaders including party chief Sonia Gandhi and her deputy Rahul Gandhi.

On GST, Finance minister Jaitley said if there is a purport to resolve "all can be resolved".

On the matter of increasing pulse prices, he said prices of pulses are a matter of concern and the government is seriously making efforts to bring them down.
