Sonia Gandhi Appears Before ED In National Herald Case

Mumbai: Congress’ interim President Sonia Gandhi has reached the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office to appear for questioning in connection with the National Herald case.

Meanwhile, Congress has decided to protest across the country against the BJP-led government Thursday in support of Sonia Gandhi.

Official sources said Sonia Gandhi has been asked to appear before investigators at the party headquarters here at around 11 am on Thursday.

Fresh summons were issued as Sonia Gandhi could not join ED’s probe in the case due to COVID-19. The agency had earlier issued similar summons to Sonia Gandhi as she did not appear before the investigators on June 8 and again on June 21 due to COVID-19.

The Congress leader developed mild fever on the evening of June 1 and his COVID-19 test was positive the next morning.

The ED had on June 1 summoned Sonia Gandhi to appear before its investigators on June 8 for the first time in a money laundering case involving the National Herald.

The ED wants to record both Sonia Gandhi’s statements under criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED last month questioned Rahul Gandhi on several occasions in the case.
