The Union government has sent eviction notices to the Congress party asking it to vacate its 24 Akbar Road office and the headquarters of the Indian Youth Congress at 5 Raisina Road, by Saturday (March 28), Congress leaders said on Wednesday.
The notices, which are dated March 13, were received recently, a Congress leader said. The party is considering moving court against the eviction notices, the leader added.
Under a 2006 policy of the Land and Development Office (L&DO) of the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA), national political parties could be allotted land for building their own offices. If they accepted the allotment, the parties would have three years from the date of taking possession of the land to vacate any bungalows or other premises that may have been allotted to them earlier.
