The Congress on Monday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Supreme Court directed the CBI to launch a preliminary inquiry into contracts allegedly awarded to Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu's family members, saying 'na khaunga na khane doonga' has been a "complete hoax" which is unravelling now. ADVERTISEMENTThe Congress' attack came after the Supreme Court directed the CBI to register a preliminary enquiry within two weeks into the award of contracts for public works in Arunachal Pradesh to firms allegedly owned by family members of the chief minister. Reacting to the development, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "The Supreme Court has just directed the CBI to launch a preliminary inquiry into contracts allegedly awarded to family members of the Arunachal Pradesh CM." 'Na khaunga na khane doonga' has been a complete hoax -- one that is unravelling now," Ramesh said on X. The Supreme Court bench has directed the CBI to file a status report before it in the matter within 16 weeks.
