New Delhi, Nov 4 (PTI) With UPA ally Madhu Koda, a former Jharkhand Chief Minister facing probe for alleged hawala transactions and investments, Congress today rejected charges that the party was harassing him.

"We reject it. It is wrong..." party spokesman Shakeel Ahmed said when asked whether the Congress was harassing Koda to gain political mileage in the Jharkhand assembly elections.

To a query whether Congress too was to be blamed for the corruption and money laundering charges against Koda as it was supporting the state government, Ahmed shot back. "Not only the Congress, other parties were also supporting the government".

Noting that "law will take its own course", Ahmed said that Congress was not a part of the government led by Koda and was only supporting it from outside.

He said, "the Congress supported the government for the welfare and development of the people of Jharkhand.
