After targeting BJP chief Amit Shah’s son over alleged monetary wrongdoings, the Congress on Saturday trained its guns on the son of NDA government’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval over alleged financial irregularities and sought a CBI probe into the matter.
Citing a news report, the Congress alleged a “prospect of conflict of interest” in Ajit Doval’s son Shaurya Doval running India Foundation, a think-tank, that has four Union ministers on its board as directors.
The news report cited by the Congress alleged that Shaurya Doval has a “prospect of conflict of interest” in India Foundation, as he is a partner in a financial services firm and the think-tank has some top ministers as directors and it relies on financial support from foreign and Indian corporates some of which have dealings with the government.
The Congress also sought the sacking of the four ministers over the allegedly opaque financials of think-tank India Foundation. Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman and commerce minister Suresh Prabhu are amongst the directors.
