Is Sonia Gandhi being victimized in National Herald case?

Rahul Gandhi, who interacted with women entrepreneurs in Guwahati and addressed grass-roots workers of the Congress said his party would return to power in Assam in the next assembly elections. “Sonia Gandhi is not Indira Gandhi…” he said.

The Congress leaders own a stake as directors in YIL, registered as a charitable company, as per the complaint.

However, on Tuesday, they were directed to appear in person on December 19 by a Delhi court which allowed their plea seeking exemption from personal appearance for the day in the National Herald case.

“The Congress Party and its leadership, both Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, appear completely rattled under making very objectionable and also irresponsible observations, comments regarding the judiciary in this country”, he added.

Despite having a substantial majority in the Lok Sabha, Modi needs the support of opposition parties to get the bill through the Rajya Sabha.

“We want Congress to respond why they are not letting Parliament function?”

A defiant Congress vice-president had yesterday charged the BJP with adopting vendetta politics and vowed to continue questioning the government.

“Why should I be scared of anyone?”

On the flood situation in Tamil Nadu, Gandhi said: “I want to tell the government of Tamil Nadu and the government of India that they need to do a lot more for the people of the state”.

Echoing similar sentiments, Union Parliamentary Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said that the government had no role to play at all in the National Herald case. “If there is a tax angle, then the tax authorities will ask questions, for which there is a due process”.

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today said the National Herald case is “one hundred percent political vendetta coming out of PMO”.

The Delhi High Court on Monday dismissed the plea of the Gandhis to quash the summons issued to them by a trial court on Swamy’s complaint regarding the acquisition of National Herald and asked them to appear before trial court on Tuesday.

He said, “This is court’s decision and neither Prime Minister’s office nor our government has said anything to court about the order. By disrupting democracy, the financial web created by the Congress leaders can not be undone”, he added.
