SONIA GANDHI & RAHUL GANDHI GET ED NOTICES IN NATIONAL HERALD CASE
CONGRESS CRIES
‘VENDETTA POLITICS’ Rahul Gandhi has been summoned today Sonia Gandhi has been summoned on June 8 Moni Sharma New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday summoned Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her MP son Rahul Gandhi for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper, officials said. The case was registered recently to probe alleged financial irregularities in the party-promoted Young Indian that owns the National Herald newspaper. Statements of other Congress leaders, who were then office bearers of the National Herald and Associated Journals Limited (AJL), have also been recorded by the ED. The case only involved the conversion of debt into equity to pay off dues like salaries, the Congress said, accusing the government of trying to deflect attention from “real issues” like inflation.
RaGa SEEKS MORE TIME FROM ED Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has sought more time to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after the agency summoned him in the National Herald money laundering case on June 2, said sources.
Jaipur: CM Ashok Gehlot fired salvos on central govt on Wednesday over notice issued by ED to Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. On Wednesday, Gehlot tweeted, “During freedom struggle, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru started National Herald & Qaumi Awaaz newspapers, which have contributed a lot to the freedom struggle. After independence, Gandhi &
Nehru started Navjeevan newspaper. NDA govt is taking retaliatory action against Sonia and Rahul by attacking efforts made to carry forward the legacy of these newspapers. The giving of notice by ED in case already going on in court is culmination of suppression of Opposition being done by Modi govt by misusing the power. Such notices cannot stop Sonia & Rahul from raising voice of common man against the dictatorial govt.”

‘KASHMIRI PANDITS PROTESTING, BJP BUSY CELEBRATING 8 YEARS’
ongress leader Rahul Gandhi on WednesC day slammed the govt over the killing of a Hindu woman teacher in Kulgam, saying
Kashmiri Pandits are protesting but the BJP is busy celebrating 8 years of Modi govt. Security personnel and civilians are dying in Kashmir and this is the truth and it is not a film, he said. “In Kashmir, 15 security personnel have been martyred and 18 civilians have been killed in the last five months. Yesterday too a teacher was murdered,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.

Cabinet allows procurement by co-op through GeM portal: Thakur New Delhi: The Union Cabinet, chaired by PM Modi on Wednesday approved a proposal to expand the mandate of Government eMarketplace (GeM) by allowing procurement by cooperatives. Move will help over 8.54 lakh registered cooperatives and their 27 crore members as they would get products at competitive rates from GeM portal. These cooperatives will be benefitted from the decision, said I&B Minister Anurag Thakur.
By targeting National Herald every now and then, BJP has disgraced and disrespected freedom fighters as their [BJP’s] predecessors didn’t play a role in India’s Freedom Movement. National Herald newspaper was started in 1942. At that time British tried to suppress it. Today, Modi govt is using the ED to do the same. A money laundering case has been registered when there is no money laundering. Move reeks of a vendetta, pettiness, fear, and political cheapness.
ON ED NOTICE TO SONIA-RAHUL, NADDA SAYS ‘CRIMINALS DENY’ THEIR CRIMES
their crimes. “Have you ever seen a criminal say I’m (a) criminal? They will, (Sonia and Rahul) of course, deny it.” he further said agency’s documents were “proof” of Gandhis’ crimes. “If chargesheet is filed, you would approach court to get it quashed,” Nadda said.
