national herald case

Hours after Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons Congress president Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi in money laundering case, the BJP took a dig at Gandhis over being asked to appear for questioning in the famous National Herald case, which was closed by the investigating agency in 2015.

Declaring Gandhis criminal without probing charges against them, the BJP national president JP Nadda said a criminal will always deny their crimes. Have anybody ever seen a criminal calling him a criminal? They will of course, deny it, he asked while talking with ANI.

Nadda also said documents are proof. If a chargesheet is filed, they would approach court to get it quashed but they sought bail. It means they’re guilty, he said.

The derogatory remarks from the BJP chief came shortly after the ED issued summons for questioning Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

After serving notice to Gandhis, the ED has asked Sonia Gandhi to depose before the probe agency at its headquarters in central Delhi on June 8 while Rahul Gandhi has been asked to appear tomorrow June 2.

Apart from ED summons to Gandhis in National Herald case, many opposition leaders have been either arrested by the Enforcement Directorate or are under the scannr.

He further added that BJP will never let another division of the country happen. Shah was addressing a Lok Sabha election rally in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh where he said the Congress and the Samajwadi Party preserved Article 370 for 70 years, due to which terrorism in the country increased.

Addressing the people Shah said they had made Modiji the prime minister for the 2nd time and he abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019.  He compared the situation to earlier times in the valley, when the Army had to be taken along for hoisting the tricolour, at that same Lal Chowk (Jammu and Kashmir) to the situation now when the shobhayatra of Lord Krishna is being taken out. The rally was organised to garner support for B P Saroj, the BJP candidate from the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in Jaunpur.

Shah further added that the divisive policies of the Congress want to divide the country again but BJP will never let that happen again.

Shah Pointed out that the prime minister has been in majority for the last 10 years and he did not use it to abolish reservation.

The UPA government gave Rs 4.9 lakh crore to Uttar Pradesh in 10 years as compared to the NDA government which gave Rs 19.11 lakh crore.
