Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Tamil Nadu Spokesperson ANS Prasad on Wednesday lashed out at Congress amid the ongoing controversy over the National Herald case. He demanded an apology from Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for "contemptuous" remarks about the courts and suggested that they must step down from their posts until the investigation is complete, reported ANI.

"Considering the severity of the allegations, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi should consider resigning from their positions until the investigation is complete," Prasad said in a statement.
