Trivedi seized on the party’s silence regarding the verdict to underscore what he described as a pattern of partisan protection. He specifically pointed to 2004, when then-UPA leader Sonia Gandhi allegedly instructed Finance Minister P. Chidambaram to prevent the harassment of the media outlet and its financial backers. According to the BJP spokesperson, this intervention shielded the organization from necessary scrutiny during a period of intense controversy.
Beyond the 2004 incident, the BJP leader accused Congress of deliberately suppressing the Justice Phukan Commission report, which investigated a high-profile sting operation led by Tehelka. By questioning why the report was never tabled, Trivedi sought to frame the party's past actions as a systemic effort to bury evidence of complicity. He insists the current administration remains committed to revisiting these historical omissions to provide the public with a clearer record of political conduct.
