Congress to protest against ED's summon to Rahul Gandhi in National Herald case
New Delhi/IBNS: The Congress party is planning to put up a huge show of strength on Monday as MP Rahul Gandhi will appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper.
Congress leader Manickam Tagore said that party workers will hold demonstrations at around 25 offices of the Enforcement Directorate across the country.
Senior leaders will march with Gandhi to the office of the probe agency in the national capital tomorrow, he said.
Sonia Gandhi, who has also been summoned for questioning, will appear before the Enforcement Directorate on June 23.
She had to skip the earlier summons after she tested positive for Covid on June 2.
The case pertains to the probe into the alleged financial irregularities in the party-promoted Young Indian that owns the National Herald newspaper, founded by Jawaharlal Nehru.
