The detention of Quattrocchi couldn't have come at a worse time for the Congress.
Still trying to recover from the aftershocks of its aborted move to impose President's rule in UP, the party is now in the throes of a multiple crisis.
On the backfoot over the Congress-led UPA Government's failure to contain inflation and curb spiralling prices, the party was working hard on getting the Union Budget passed when its carefully kept secret about Quattrocchi's detention in Argentina's Misiones province surfaced barely 10 days before the deadline for his extradition was to expire.
<b>Congress president Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday, held several rounds of talks with the party's core group to find an escape route out of the mess. </b>
The crisis has expectedly driven the party's senior leaders into a shell. "This is something we have just heard. We don't even know whether this entire thing relates to a, b or c. The Congress maintains that legal processes must be left alone," spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said.
To Gandhi's discomfiture, doubts about the UPA's sincerity in prosecuting Quattrocchi are being expressed by not only the BJP and anti-Congress parties like AIADMK, but also the Left parties that provide critical support to the Government.
....
Crying foul from Chennai AIADMK chief Jayalalitha alleged that, "Knowingly, deliberately, time is being lost. After the arrest on February 6, now about 10 days are left for bringing Quattrocchi to India but neither the Centre nor the CBI has moved an inch to make a formal extradition request to Argentina."
