[In this context, it's necessary to kkep in mind that Modi had hurled the
charge of treason against his predecessor and the previous Vice President
of the country during the last phase of the Gujarat poll campaign only to
be tamely withdrawn the poll having been over and results out.
(Ref.: <https://twitter.com/officeofrg/status/946038581306441728?lang=en>.)

<<Congress’ chief spokes-person Randeep Surjewa-la alleged that a
stateme-nt made by Mr Michel’s advocate Rosemary Patr-izi Dos Anjos after
his detention in July had “cl-early brought out” that the Modi government
and its agencies were forcing him to sign a false confessional statement
naming MrsSonia Gandhi in return for complete exoneration in the case.

“Even the sister of Mr Michel had come out and reiterated the coercions to
falsely name Opposition leaders as a ticket of exoneration of her brother,”
he said.
Mr Surjewala claimed that never before in the history of India has a Prime
Minister been found “complicit” in gaining “false evidence” against
Opposition leaders to seek “revenge”.>>

In this context also rlelvant:
<<5. Commenting on Michel's extradition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said
at an election rally in Rajasthan, "You must have seen how we caught the
middleman in the VVIP chopper scam and have brought him from Dubai to
Delhi. Let us see what skeletons come out of the closet of the Congress."
...
9. In July, Michel's lawyer alleged that he was being pressured by Indian
agencies to frame Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in return for amnesty from
criminal proceedings.>>

>.)

And:
<<The note (Modi) he may be referring to is how the Gandhi family has been
linked in the case. It was recovered from one of the two other middlemen in
the case, Guido Haschke, and contained a mention of a payment made against
the word “family”, which has been alleged to be the Gandhi family. It also
mentioned "AP", which is alleged to be Sonia's close aide Ahmed Patel.
Michel has termed this note to be fake and Congress has blamed the BJP-led
central government of using the central probe agencies to “target the
Gandhis and tarnish the image of the opposition”. Through his lawyer,
Michel had also stated that CBI had pressured him to sign a confession that
said he had met former Congress president Sonia Gandhi when the deal was
being negotiated in 2010.>>

Implications are fairly obvious.]

New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi
and the BJP for “latching” on to Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in
the AgustaWestland copter deal who was extradited to India from Dubai, for
a “smear campaign” agai-nst Opposition leaders and attempting to extract a
confessional statement naming UPA chief Sonia Gandhi.

Congress’ chief spokes-person Randeep Surjewa-la alleged that a stateme-nt
made by Mr Michel’s advocate Rosemary Patr-izi Dos Anjos after his
detention in July had “cl-early brought out” that the Modi government and
its agencies were forcing him to sign a false confessional statement naming
MrsSonia Gandhi in return for complete exoneration in the case.

“Even the sister of Mr Michel had come out and reiterated the coercions to
falsely name Opposition leaders as a ticket of exoneration of her brother,”
he said.

Mr Surjewala claimed that never before in the history of India has a Prime
Minister been found “complicit” in gaining “false evidence” against
Opposition leaders to seek “revenge”.
