New Delhi: Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh on Monday shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to debunk his claims on transparency and accountability.

He asked the PM why he is not ordering an investigation into the Panama paper and Bahamas paper leaks. “Those named in these leaks have been made brand ambassadors by the PM,” he said.

The Congress leader also asked through the letter that why the Central government is not acting fast on the issue of appointment of Lok Pal, the Whistleblower Act and benami properties.

Besides, he also asked the Prime Minister why he was not initiating action against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah “whose close aides are being accused of irregularities in the wake of demonetisation”.

In the letter, he asked why aren’t fast track courts being made to try government servants and politicians.
