On Wednesday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) wrapped up its third round of questioning of Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi regarding the National Herald money laundering case. On Wednesday, Gandhi was questioned by the central organisation for three hours. Gandhi has not yet received a new summons.
Along with her daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and son Rahul Gandhi, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi reached the federal agency’s office at 11 a.m.
A group of investigators, including the lead probe officer and a person who records Gandhi’s dictations on a computer, started the meeting at 11:15 a.m.
In order to help her mother in the same way as in the past, Priyanka stayed behind at the Pravartan Bhawan, the ED’s main office.
The Congress MPs and their supporters were detained by the Delhi Police. Mallikarjun Kharge, the opposition leader in the Rajya Sabha, was held together with Congressmen Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Gaurav Gogoi, KC Venugopal, Jairam Ramesh, Shakti Singh Goyal, Ranjeet Ranjan, and Manickam Tagore. They were driven by a bus to the Kingsway Camp police station.
A protest march from Vijay Chowk to the President’s House was led by Congress MPs. Manish Tewari, an imprisoned Congress member, stated that they wanted to increase the voice of the common people in Parliament.
The National Herald newspaper is owned by the Congress-promoted Young Indian Private Limited, which is under investigation for potential financial irregularities.
Covid protocols were followed during the sessions and everything was recorded.
The agency’s move against its senior leaders has drawn criticism from Congress, which referred to it as “political harassment” and “vengeance.”
Like on the previous two occasions, the Delhi Police mobilised a sizable force, including members of the CRPF and RAF, and blocked off the entire stretch of more than one kilometre between Gandhi’s apartment on Janpath-Akbar Road and the ED headquarters. Additionally, there were traffic restrictions throughout the region.
