Indian National Congress political party’s one of the leading leaders Rahul Gandhi has decided to go barefoot to the ED office for his summon. He is performing a Satyagraha along with hundreds of his workers. The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in connection with a money laundering case, wherein the Congress on Sunday accused the ruling BJP of indulging in vendetta politics while asserting the former party chief “won’t back down”.
The Congress had decided that all its top leaders and MPs would take out a protest march to the agency headquarters here and stage a “satyagraha” against what the party termed “misuse” of the ED by the Centre. However, the Delhi Police has denied permission for the same.
In an interview with PTI, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram asserted the summons to the former party chief was “baseless” and said it appears that the ED’s jurisdiction does not extend to the BJP members or to states ruled by it.
About the ED summons to Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi and the Congress’ decision of a show of strength when the former appears before the probe agency on Monday, Chidambaram said, “I speak as a Congress member and an advocate. The ED’s summons to Rahul Gandhi under PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) is baseless.”
