Extremely upset with the Congress' action against her husband Ajit Jogi and son Amit Jogi, the former Chhattisgarh chief minister's wife Renu Jogi on Thursday dubbed it to be a conspiracy and demanded a thorough investigation.
"It is unfortunate that it is happening in the Congress Party. It took place when the party was progressing," she said.
She also accused the Congress' Chhattisgarh unit of 'one-sided proceedings' and requested the intervention of party president Sonia Gandhi in the matter.
