New Delhi, Jul 1 (PTI) The Congress on Wednesday hit out at the Modi government for sending a house vacation notice to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, saying neither she nor the Congress leadership will be cowed down by such moves.
Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the entire country knows the "deep hatred and vendetta of Prime Minister Narendra Modi" towards the Congress leadership.
He said the Congress does not fear from such notices and will continue to highlight the "wrong-doings of a failed Modi government".
"The BJP government's deep hatred and sense of vendetta for Congress leadership is well known to all. They have now touched to new lows. The notice of vacation of Priyanka Gandhi's house signals the anxiety of PM Modi and UP CM Yogi Adityanath. We will not be cowed down by these petty decisions of a frustrated government," he said in a video message.

The government on Wednesday asked Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to vacate her bungalow in Lutyens' Delhi within a month, saying she is not entitled to the facility following withdrawal of her SPG protection.
It had in November last year replaced the Special Protection Group (SPG) cover of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her children Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, with Z-plus security by the CRPF.
Surjewala said the entire country has seen how some time ago the SPG security of the family of former PM late Rajiv Gandhi was taken away.
PM Modi has also taken away the security of two former prime ministers Manmohan Singh and HD Deve Gowda, he said.
"The Congress leadership and former PMs have been warning this failed government against its anti-people policies," he said, adding that they will continue to do so in future.
"Priyanka Gandhi is Indira Gandhi's grand-daughter and neither she nor the Congress leadership will be cowed down by such notices. You will not be able to stop us from highlighting the wrong-doings of a failed government, even if takes many decisions like this notice," Surjewala said.
"PM Narendra Modi and his Government are blinded by rage, hatred and revenge against the Congress leadership. Unnerved by political activism of Priyanka ji in UP, Modi Government has stooped even further by issuing house vacation notice. Such frustrated attempts will not deter us," he tweeted
He said Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh or Deve Gowda have shown the mirror of truth to the Modi government.
"Priyanka Gandhi has also been highlighting the failures of the UP government and she will not be deterred in championing people's voice by such fruitless and wasteful exercises that you are seeking to do blinded by revenge," he said. PTI SKC RT RT 07012226 NNNN the field again," Ramos said.
"We couldn't wait for the league to start again, to compete again, and the best way to do that is with a win."
Madrid is expected to play all of its remaining home matches at the Alfredo Di Stéfano because the Bernabéu will continue to undergo renovation work during the summer.
The club is likely to remain at the stadium for the rest of the season even if fans are allowed back before then, which the league has said is a possibility.
ATLÉTICO HELD
Atlético Madrid's struggles continued as its season resumed after being held 1-1 at Athletic Bilbao for its third straight league draw.
The setback kept Diego Simeone's team in sixth place, outside the Champions League spots.
The goals at the empty San Mamés Stadium came a couple of minutes apart late in the first half, with Athletic's Iker Muniain scoring in the 37th and Atlético equalizing with Diego Costa in the 39th for his first goal since last October.
During the celebration, Costa held the jersey of Atlético women's team player Virginia Torrecilla, who is recovering from brain surgery to remove a tumor.
It was the 13th league draw for Atlético, which has only two wins in its last nine league matches.
"We earned a draw at a tough place but we need to start winning three points if we want to stay in contention to qualify for the Champions League," Atlético midfielder Jorge "Koke" Resurrección said.
"It will be difficult if we don't start winning matches."
Atlético's last match before the break had been an away victory against Liverpool that eliminated the titleholders in the Champions League round of 16. But Atlético had drawn its last two league matches — against Sevilla and Espanyol — to drop in the standings and remain far from the leaders. It trails Barcelona by 15 points with 10 rounds left.
Atlético has the same 46 points as fifth-place Getafe and is a point behind fourth-place Real Sociedad, which drew 1-1 with Osasuna at home on Sunday.
Athletic, which had won two in a row before the break, stayed in 10th place. AP
