Union Minister and Amethi MP Smriti Irani described the street protests launched by the Congress on their leader Rahul Gandhi's being summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as a move undertaken "to pressure an investigating agency openly" because "their corruption has been exposed" and an attempt to "protect the assets of the Gandhi family".
Addressing a press conference at the BJP's national headquarters, Ms. Irani, said, "Congress leaders have taken to the streets to pressure an investigating agency openly because their corruption has been exposed."
"The impasse that Congress leaders and workers are doing today on the call of Rahul Gandhi, I would like to tell the country that this is not an attempt to save democracy, but an attempt to protect the assets of the Gandhi family worth ₹2,000 crore," Ms. Irani said.
