National Herald Case: Rahul Gandhi Reaches ED Office With Sister Priyanka In Tow

New Delhi: Congress workers were detained today morning ahead of the party’s scheduled protest march to the Enforcement Directorate’s headquarters in Delhi. The party’s former chief Rahul Gandhi is set to appear before the ED today in the National Herald case.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his sister and party general secretary are marching to the Enforcement Directorate. The Congress is holding a huge protest in the national capital over the action against Mr Gandhi and party chief Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case.

Delhi Police had last night refused permission for the protest march, citing the “communal and law and order situation” and VVIP movements. The Congress leaders had urged them to reconsider the decision, NDTV reported.

The party then decided to go ahead with the protest planned in Delhi and several other cities. Protests are also being held in Indore in Madhya Pradesh and Assam’s Guwahati, among other cities.

The Congress and all its top leaders and MPs took out a protest march to the agency headquarters here and staged a “satyagraha” against what the party termed “misuse” of the ED by the Centre. Senior Congress leader  P Chidambaram asserted that the summons to the former party chief was “baseless” and said it appears that the ED’s jurisdiction does not extend to the BJP members or to states ruled by it.
