The PM's attack on Congress comes a day after there were media reports saying the Enforcement Directorate has named some Congress leaders in the chargesheet against AgustaWestland middleman Christian Michel.

The name includes UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi's close aide Ahmed Patel and one Mrs Gandhi. The Congress leaders have not been named as accused in the chargesheet.

Meanwhile, the Patiala House Court in Delhi has issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate asking it explain how details of the chargesheet against Christian Michel were made available to the media.
