New Delhi: The Congress yesterday moved the Supreme Court challenging a Delhi High Court verdict that held it and the BJP guilty of receiving funds from the subsidiaries of Britain-based Vedanta Resources, flouting norms of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA).
The Congress sought stay of the order which had prima facie found both the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) guilty of violating the foreign contribution statute and had asked the central government and the Election Commission to initiate appropriate action against them.
The high court had directed the home ministry and the poll panel to “relook and reappraise the receipts of the political parties” to identify foreign donations and take action within six months. IANS
