Sonia, Rahul Called To ED Office To Harass Them: Mallikarjun Kharge

Mumbai: Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday accused the BJP-led government of harassing Sonia and Rahul Gandhi over the National Herald case.

Condemning the ED action on Rahul Gandhi, Kharge said they will continue to protest against the government.

“This is nothing but politics. We condemn this…Had there been a legal point, in this case, it would not have taken 8 years (for action). This is their method to harass people, but we will not be scared. We will continue to fight,” he said. Also Read: Rahul Must Face Probe, Cong Shouldn’t Hold People To Ransom: Devendra Fadnavis

“No substance in the false case of the National Herald. To harass Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi, they’re called to the ED office. If they want to say something, it can be done through their lawyers. But making them sit for hours and harass them is political vendetta,” Kharge said.

Rahul Gandhi appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the National Herald case today.

Rahul Gandhi was questioned by the ED in an alleged money laundering case related to the National Herald case. He arrived at the probe agency’s office with a battery of party leaders and supporters, while Congress workers protested across the country, alleging that the probe agency was being used as a ‘puppet’ by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Center.

Gandhi was allegedly questioned by the ED for 10 hours on Monday. He has been asked to join the investigation on Tuesday. Congress members have also threatened to hold nationwide protests on Tuesday to condemn Gandhi’s summons.
