New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, on Monday, lashed out at the grand old Congress president Rahul Gandhi over the latter's 'no one killed Sohrabuddin Sheikh' statement. In a detailed Facebook post, FM Jaitley stated that the Congress president should have in its place asked the right question- Who killed the Sohrabudin inquiry.

"The Congress President Sh. Rahul Gandhi on the day of the judgement raised the issue “that nobody killed Sohrabudin”. It would have been more appropriate if he had asked the right question, namely who killed Sohrabudin case investigation, he would have got the right answer," Jaitley asserted in a FB post on Monday morning.

Worth mention here the special CBI judge had, on December 22, acquitted all 22 accused in the encounter of criminal Sohrabuddin Sheikh. After a day Gandhi had taken to Twitter and stated, "NO ONE KILLED... Haren Pandya. Tulsiram Prajapati. Justice Loya. Prakash Thombre. Shrikant Khandalkar. Kauser Bi. Sohrabuddin Shiekh. THEY JUST DIED (sic)."

FM Jaitley attached a series of letters in which he had written to the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh detailing the 'politicization of the investigation in the Sohrabudin, Tulsi Prajapati, Ishrat Jahan, Rajinder Rathore and the Haren Pandya cases'.

"The copy of the letter is enclosed. Every word of what I have said in the letter, over the next five years, have proven to be true.  This is irrefutable evidence of what the Congress did to our investigative agencies. Those who have recently shown a belated concern for institutional independence should seriously introspect as to what they did to the CBI when they were in power," Jaitley stated.
