The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Congress president Sonia Gandhi for recording her statement on July 21 in connection with a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper.
Ms. Gandhi, who was to appear on June 23, had earlier written to the ED seeking a postponement to fully recover from COVID-related issues. The agency had issued the first summons to her for June 8. However, she tested positive for COVID-19 on June 2. She had to be hospitalised on June 12 due to infection in the respiratory tract and nasal bleeding.
