The story so far: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Congress president Sonia Gandhi and former party chief Rahul Gandhi for questioning in a money laundering case involving the National Herald newspaper. While Ms. Gandhi has been called to appear on June 8, her son Mr. Gandhi has been asked to depose on June 13.
The Congress alleged that the summons reeked of “vendetta, pettiness and cheap politics”. Informing that the Gandhis will appear before the ED, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala, said at a press conference: “This is truly a very weird case, an alleged money laundering case on which summons are issued with no money involved.”
