The Congress has dubbed the probe as the ruling BJP's political vendetta
The BJP on July 21 criticised the Congress' protests ahead of the Enforcement Directorate's questioning of its president Sonia Gandhi as its "duragrah" (obstinate demand) for protecting the Gandhi family.
BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad noted that Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi, have been accused of grabbing valuable assets of the Associate Journal Ltd, which publishes the National Herald newspaper. Their plea to quash the FIR has been dismissed by every court, including the Supreme Court, the former Union minister told reporters.
"The Congress has become a pocket organisation of a family, and now its assets are also being pocketed by the family," he alleged, attacking the Gandhis.
Both are out on bail in the case, he told reporters.
Gandhis floated Young Indian, in which Ms. Gandhi and her son have 76% shares, to grab assets of the National Herald, he charged.
