"FM seems to insinuate #PanamaPapers will now be manufactured in Delhi by dirty tricks Deptt. Of BJP/Govt. Frustration let's cat out of bag? (sic)" party spokesman Manish Tewari said on Twitter.
Another party spokesman Sanjay Jha also took a dig at the Finance Minister.
"Mr Jaitley says, Congress won't celebrate when #panamapapers details come out. But right now famous names exposed have only BJP links, Sir", he said in a tweet.
As a multi-agency probe continues into leaked 'Panama Papers' showing alleged offshore tax haven holdings of Indians, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had yesterday said "Congress will not have many reasons to celebrate" when the details come out in this case.
He had also asserted that the probe is being done in a "very impartial" way and rejected demands from Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that he should "recuse" himself from the matter.
