The Congress had launched a no-holds barred attack against government over the case, accusing it of resorting to "unprecedented" level of vendetta politics and targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying Swamy was his "mask".
Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad calling Swamy a "mask" for Modi, and said the BJP functionary has been awarded with a bungalow for dragging Congress leadership to court even though he was not a Parliamentarian or government official.
"He (Swamy) has been placed under Z-category and allotted a government bungalow. He is not a member of the Parliament nor from a border state. He is not facing any threat from any terrorist organisation...The bungalow was given as an award for dragging the Congress leadership to court," said Azad.
