ED Reacting as Rahul Asked Tough Question to Jaishankar: Congress
In a recent development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has claimed that Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have benefited from ₹142 crores in the National Herald case. However, the Congress party has hit back at this claim, stating that the ED is saying so because Rahul Gandhi asked tough questions to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The ED has been investigating the Congress-led National Herald newspaper’s takeover by Young Indian (YI), a company controlled by the Gandhis. The agency has claimed that the Gandhis have benefited from the takeover, which has been deemed illegal by the ED.
Reacting to the ED’s claim, Congress spokesperson Ajay Maken said that the agency is trying to silence Rahul Gandhi by using its frontal organisations like the ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). “Every time Rahul asks tough questions, the government uses its frontal organisations like ED and CBI to silence him,” Maken added.
This is not the first time that the ED has been accused of being used as a tool to silence dissenting voices. In the past, the agency has been used to target political opponents and critics of the government.
It is worth noting that the National Herald case has been ongoing for several years, and the ED has been investigating the matter for some time. However, the recent claim by the ED that the Gandhis have benefited from the takeover is seen as a new development in the case.
The Congress party has been critical of the ED’s investigation into the National Herald case, stating that the agency is being used to target the party and its leaders. The party has also accused the government of using the ED to silence dissenting voices and critics of the government.
The ED’s claim that the Gandhis have benefited from the takeover of National Herald has also been seen as a new attempt by the government to discredit the Congress party and its leaders. The party has been a major opposition to the government, and the government has been accused of using various means to silence the party and its leaders.
In conclusion, the ED’s claim that the Gandhis have benefited from the takeover of National Herald is seen as a new attempt by the government to silence dissenting voices and critics of the government. The Congress party has been critical of the ED’s investigation into the case, stating that the agency is being used to target the party and its leaders. The party has also accused the government of using the ED to silence dissenting voices and critics of the government.
