The Narendra Modi government is “hounding” Rahul Gandhi through the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for speaking up against the failures of the government, the Congress alleged on Tuesday as Mr. Gandhi was questioned for the fifth day by the agency in a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper.
Addressing a press conference, the party’s spokesperson and senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi alleged that the questioning of Mr. Gandhi for more than 55 hours and over five days was because of “personal vendetta” and was “aimed at distracting the country” from the core issues of inflation, unemployment, and the Agnipath scheme.
Using strong words, Mr. Singhvi said the ED’s action was “illegal and unconstitutional”, and added, “the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) is high on its rage and that is why it has made the ED its cage”.
