Congress plans protest as ED asks Sonia Gandhi to appear

Calling the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) summons to Congress president Sonia Gandhi an example of “vendetta politics” of the Narendra Modi government, the Congress declared that it would hold country-wide protests, on Thursday, when Ms. Gandhi appears before the central agency.

"Tomorrow as the political vendetta unleashed by the Modi-Shah duo against our top leadership continues, the entire Congress party across the country will demonstrate its collective solidarity with Smt.

On Wednesday evening, top party leaders including Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram, general secretary K.C. Venugopal, along with MPs from Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, gathered at the residence of Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha, to chalk out a plan strategy.
