ED interrogation of Rahul Gandhi is to prevent him from contesting two constituencies, says Mallikarjun Kharge

Responding to a query on the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioning of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha M. Mallikarjun Kharge said the Union Government had ordered ED to go after Mr. Gandhi and his mother, Sonia Gandhi, to ensure that he would not contest elections from two constituencies.

“I know very well what Prime Minister Narendra Modi is thinking. He wants to prevent Rahul Gandhi from contesting from two constituencies. It is with this cunning and conspiracy that he has ordered the ED to go after Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. It is not something that we have never seen,” he said.

Asserting that the National Herald was an asset of the Congress party, the senior Congressman said that the party was making all efforts to protect it.
