As former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday was being questioned for the fourth day by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper, the Congress party held a satyagraha at Jantar Mantar to protest against the Centre’s misuse of government agencies to carry out political vendetta against Opposition leaders and the Delhi Police’s alleged manhandling of Congress party leaders without any provocation during protests that were recently organised against the Agnipath scheme. The Congress party also demanded a rollback of the Centre’s Agnipath recruitment scheme for the armed forces.
On Monday, Mr. Gandhi was summoned again by the federal agency, clocking more than 40 hours of questioning.
On a day of hectic protests over multiple issues, Congress leaders marched from Parliament House to Rashtrapati Bhavan and a seven-member delegation handed over two separate memoranda to President Ram Nath Kovind.
