Congress claims India's income tax department froze its bank accounts.

Congress claims its bank accounts have been frozen by India's income tax department ahead of the expected national election announcement, accusing the ruling BJP of plotting to disrupt its poll preparations. The party later said that the accounts were temporarily unfrozen by the ITAT for access to funds, and the move was a "routine recovery measure" rather than an obstacle to its activities. The announcement comes just hours after the Indian Supreme Court invalidated a scheme allowing political parties to receive anonymous donations, introduced by the BJP.
