He also dared senior BJP leader to "furnish the address with the proof of ownership" of properties which Jaitley had accused him of having abroad while maintaining that he would "produce all the evidence" as how he (Jaitley) was "trying to abuse his position" to target him.
Amarinder was responding to Jaitley's claim that he had located "illegal properties" abroad. He said the minister should not rely on the "documents which someone stole" from a Swiss Bank years ago and sold to the French government, that in turn gave to the government of India.
"Time, they say, is a great healer, but unfortunately nothing seems to work or heal for Jaitley", he said, while reacting to Jaitley's charges made during a speech in Bathinda yesterday.
"The way Jaitley spat venom at me, has only vindicated and validated my stand that he is trying to avenge his humiliating defeat by unleashing these departments (the ED and IT) at me and my family"," Amarinder said.
The PCC president said, it was good that the Finance Minister "betrayed" his intentions at Bathinda yesterday, as it will further strengthen his case and establish that the ED was "directly acting" under the minister's instructions.
