Senior Congress leader and MP, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury today questioned the TMC leadership for keeping mum on the Rafale deal and said there is no difference in functioning of CBI and the CID in West Bengal under BJP and TMC regimes respectively.

Chowdhury, who is the former West Bengal PCC president, questioned TMC's silence on the Rafale deal even as several opposition parties have spoken out against it.

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi stepping up offensive against the government for forcing the CBI director to go on leave had dubbed the action as "illegal" and a "panic eaction" to cover up Rafale deal evidence
He said, "When opposition parties have spoken out against the Rafale scam, TMC has maintained a silence on this issue. Why are they (TMC) not speaking out against the scam? Why isn't TMC and its supremo Mamata Banerjee attacking BJP and CBI in the same language as other opposition parties and the Congress ? What is stopping them from doing so? Is it the fear of Narada and Saradha scam investigation ?"
