Congress workers marched to Raj Bhavan here in protest against the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) questioning of All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Sonia Gandhi.
Former Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala, MLA, said that the ED had no case against Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi. At the behest of its political masters, the agency wanted to show the AICC leadership in an unflattering light. He said the AICC had created a non-profit company to salvage the National Herald and allied publications from debt. It gave ₹90 crore to Associated Journals as a loan and converted the debt into equity shares. The procedure was above board and legal. The action against the AICC leadership smacked of intolerance and authoritarianism.
