The Congress party has voiced strong criticism against Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu for maintaining control over files pertinent to a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry mandated by the Supreme Court. Jairam Ramesh, Congress's general secretary for communications, stated that the BJP's actions reflect a blatant disregard for legal principles, constituting an 'insult' to the Supreme Court and the citizens of Arunachal Pradesh. The Supreme Court had directed the CBI to investigate allegations of corruption against Khandu, including claims that his family received contracts worth ₹1,270 crore over a decade. Ramesh questioned why Khandu remains in office despite these serious allegations, emphasizing that his dual role as Chief Minister and Public Works Department minister allows him to control critical inquiry-related documents. He described the situation as a 'gross travesty' of justice, calling for accountability and adherence to the Supreme Court's directives.
