In a significant advancement in the National Herald case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has made explosive claims in a Delhi court, alleging that Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi illegally received ₹142 crore. The ED’s assertions come on the heels of a property seizure worth over ₹751 crore linked to the National Herald, raising serious questions about financial misconduct within the party.
The ED’s Additional Solicitor General, SV Raju, stated in court that the Gandhis not only profited from criminal activities but also engaged in money laundering to conceal these gains. The examination has reportedly uncovered evidence implicating the Gandhis, along with associates like Sam Pitroda and Suman Dubey, in a broader scheme of financial irregularities tied to the national Herald case. The court has directed the ED to provide a copy of the allegations to the accused, including Subramanian Swamy, who has been a vocal critic of the Gandhis. As the political landscape heats up, this case could have far-reaching implications for the Congress party and its leadership, stirring public sentiment and debate across the nation.
