National Herald Case
BJP slams Congress for protesting Sonia Gandhi's questioning by ED
New Delhi: The BJP on Thursday slammed Congress party for nationwide protests over Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi's interrogation by the Enforcement Directorate in the alleged National Herald money laundering case.
"Today Sonia Gandhi is going to be interrogated by the ED. The Congress party is going to conduct Satyagraha. This is not a Satyagraha, it is a chauvinism against the laws of the country and the country's institutions," said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar on Thursday.
He added that "Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are on bail in this case, they are also accused of cheating".
सोनिया गांधी से ED के द्वारा होने वाली पूछताछ के विरोध में कांग्रेस पार्टी का आज सत्याग्रह है।

ये सत्याग्रह नहीं, देश के कानून और देश की संस्थाओं के खिलाफ दुराग्रह है।
सोनिया गांधी और राहुल गांधी इस मामले में बेल पर हैं। इन पर धोखाधड़ी का भी आरोप है।

The BJP spokesperson said, "On the one hand we are those who respect the law and institutions. Look at thebehavior of Congress. Their Chief Minister is sitting in Delhi. All the MPs are demoralizing the ED and other organizations in support of their leader".
He alleged that Congress's protest, which it is calling Satyagrah, is an attempt to keep the money of a party in their pockets and "...the truth is that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are on bail and these people have lost the case in the High Court and Supreme Court".
Sonia Gandhi's questioning had been deferred earlier after she tested positive for Covid and was hospitalised.
After being released from hospital in mid-June, she had sought more time to appear before the agency.
