National Herald case: Congress protests against the misuse of investigative agencies.
Madhya Pradesh: Congress leaders, led by state president Jitu Patwari, were marching towards the BJP office to protest the alleged misuse of investigative agencies when police stopped them and used water cannons to disperse them on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, a Delhi court ruled that taking cognizance of the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) prosecution complaint related to money laundering was “wrong in law.” The ED has accused Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, other party leaders, the late Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, as well as Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda, and the private company Young Indian, of conspiracy and money laundering. Patwari alleged that the BJP is conspiring to defame opposition leaders by filing false cases. He said, “Today, the true face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Enforcement Directorate has been exposed before the country.”
He added, “The Gandhi family has made sacrifices for the country. The Congress will not be intimidated by these false cases. We will spread awareness among the people and expose the BJP.”
