The Congress on Friday said it had received fresh notices from the income-tax (I-T) department asking it to pay ₹1,823.08 crore and accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of resorting to "tax terrorism" to cripple it financially, especially as the Lok Sabha polls are underway.
Sources in the Communist Party of India (CPI) said the party had received a notice from the I-T department asking it to pay 11 crore in "dues", comprising penalties and interest, for using an old PAN card to file tax returns during the last few years.
Trinamool Congress leader Saket Gokhale also claimed he has received 11 I-T notices in the past 72 hours, PTI reported.
The Congress alleged that the government agencies were applying different rules on the Opposition parties, while not hauling the BJP for similar misdemeanours. It said there was no level playing field, and government departments have behaved like the BJP's frontal organisations.
