The Income Tax Department pledges to hold off on recovering approximately Rs 3,500 crore from the Indian National Congress until after the Lok Sabha elections conclude. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta assures the Supreme Court of no coercive action, addressing the Congress's appeals against the demands. The court records the assurance and schedules the next hearing for July 24. Amidst ongoing disputes, the Congress criticizes the government for "tax terrorism," alleging attempts to weaken them financially ahead of the elections. The matter remains contentious as political tensions escalate.
