Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi today appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in Delhi for the second round of questioning in the National Herald case. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was also with Sonia Gandhi. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi was questioned for five days in the same case.
Sonia Gandhi was first questioned on July 21 in the case for over two hours. Then he answered 28 questions of the agency. The ED is probing alleged financial irregularities in Young Indian Private Limited, which owns the National Herald, a newspaper promoted by the Congress.
The Congress has condemned the ED’s action against its top leadership and termed it as a move of “political vendetta”. Sonia and Rahul Gandhi are among the promoters and majority shareholders of Young Indian. Like his son, the Congress President also holds 38 per cent stake.
