Hypocrisy of Congress. Again!!

I remember that for everything that went wrong in India (riots, scandals etc.), the patriotic Congressmen would blame either the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or the CIA. We now find out from a book where a former US Ambassador, Daniel P Moynihan claims that the Congress party took money from the US. Since the US State Department is not in the habit of of surreptitious disbursement of money, it must have come via the CIA network.
Now the Congress can deny all this and trash Moynihan's name but once upon a time, his name was a respected one in the Indian foreign affairs. Moynihan has no reason to lie especially since he outlived Indira Gandhi and thus no scores to settle. So we have an interesting situation here. A party which blamed CIA and RSS for all the Indian ills was on the CIA payroll.
Ironic, no?
Indira's Cong took money from US, claims book:
"Turning to CIA (Central Intelligence Agency, the US spy agency) he (Kissinger) said that the United States supported the Congress party. (A fact she must know, in the past having taken our money. He would know that she would know that he would know this)," he writes in the entry. "
