"No one is running away from this DDCA issue. Yesterday this issue was raised in the Lok Sabha by congress deputy chief Venugopal ji and it was answered by the Finance Minister. Then who is running? Why didn't the debate it further? We want the debate should take place. There is no other issue with congress. They want to hide themselves from National Herald case. They just want to create ruckus without any discussion," Pradhan told the media here.
