The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday termed the seizure of the assets of National Herald by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as the Gandhi family paying for its “sins” after the Congress decried the seizure that took place late on Tuesday evening.
Addressing a presser at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad asked the Congress to explain how the action taken against the “rank dishonesty and loot of public property” could be described as a negation of democracy. “You think that you keep looting but no action should be taken. The family must pay for its sins, corruption and misuse of power,” he said.
