New Delhi, March 25 -- Amid mounting chaos over a notice to vacate party office at 24 Akbar Road, Congress MP Imran Masood on Wednesday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government was attempting to silence the party through pressure tactics.

His remarks come after the Estate Department issued a notice to Congress, directing the opposition party to vacate its office at 24 Akbar Road by March 28, according to party sources.

"The govt thinks it can silence Congress by creating pressure on us. They should not try to scare us. Have they got the BJP office at 11, Ashok Road or at Pant Marg? Because they have not been able to do anything regarding the Iran war, they are trying to deflect attention from this issue," Masood told ANI...
