Union Minister Anurag Thakur slammed the Congress leaders for questioning the investigation against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case and said that the “party is still living in slavery for just one family- Gandhi family” on Tuesday.
Speaking to ANI, the Union Minister questioned the Congress and said that if the Gandhi family has not done anything then why are they afraid of the investigation? Thakur said, “This question is being raised again and again why Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are running away from the investigation and Congress leaders have remained confined to the Gandhi family instead of raising the voice of the public. The country got independence 75 years ago but the Congress party is still living in slavery for just one family.”
“The biggest example of how to grab property worth thousands of crores is the National Herald case and this is done by none other than Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, who are currently being investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). They are out on bail but why are they running away from the investigation? These crocodile tears of Congress leaders are just to hide the corruption done by their party and to stop the investigation. Is Congress out of bounds of probe agencies? Does the law of the country not apply to the Congress leaders? Is the Gandhi family above the law of the country? They are out on bail, shouldn’t they tell the investigating agency why the scam happened? Why are they afraid if they are innocent?” he added.
He further said that Congress leaders have remained confined to the Gandhi family instead of raising the voice of the public.
