The ED questioned Rahul Gandhi for the second consecutive day on Tuesday in the money laundering case related to the National Herald newspaper, amid heavy opposition from Congress and the political battle. After about 11 hours of interrogation, on Tuesday midnight, Rahul Gandhi came out of the ED office and reached home. The ED called Rahul again on Wednesday. Rahul Gandhi had requested that even though the ED officials should be interrogated for a long time today, they should not be called tomorrow i.e. on Wednesday, but the ED turned down his request.
An official said that recording of statements takes time, so the Congress leader has been called. Congress protested for the second day, terming the ED's inquiry as harassment of the Leader of Opposition out of political vendetta. Both the Congress Chief Ministers Ashok Gehlot of Rajasthan and Bhupesh Baghel of Chhattisgarh, from all the party MPs, and members of the Working Committee to the workers, fought with the police on the road in support of Rahul, and all of them were detained.
After a long interrogation by the ED, Rahul Gandhi went to Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, where his mother and interim president of Congress Sonia Gandhi is hospitalized due to complications related to Kovid.
The ED had summoned Rahul to return on Tuesday after nearly 11 hours of interrogation in two rounds on Monday. Before going to the ED office the next day, at 10:30 am, Rahul reached the Congress headquarters, 24 Akbar Road, which has been converted into a cantonment, where all the party veterans including Ashok Gehlot and Bhupesh Baghel were staging a sit-in against the political use of the ED. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was also present with Rahul. Seeing the enthusiasm of the leaders-workers and the spirit of struggle, Rahul left for the ED office from there smiling and Congress leaders also started walking with him. But Delhi Police stopped all the leaders ranging from Gehlot, Baghel, Jairam Ramesh, Randeep Surjewala, and KC Venugopal. An army of security personnel was standing at the ED office and the Congress leaders-workers were detained and sent to different police stations.
Four hours of questioning in the first round
Rahul Gandhi reached the ED office at 11:05 am. After more than four hours of interrogation, at around 3.30 pm, Rahul came out for lunch and went to his official residence. After about an hour at 4.30, they again reached the ED office. Their interrogation continued till after nine o'clock at the night.
Surjewala raised four questions
The Congress had earlier in the morning termed the prolonged interrogation of Rahul as political repression. Party media department head Randeep Surjewala termed the ED as the BJP's election management department in the press conference. Raising four questions about this, he asked why Rahul is the only target of the BJP? Is the ED's action a conspiracy to suppress the vocal voices raising public issues? Has Rahul Gandhi become a hindrance in serving the interests of Chand Dhanna Seths by the Modi government? And why is the BJP government spending thousands of crores on advertisements, putting 40-50 ministers, and pressurizing the media to attack only Rahul Gandhi so much?
Govt scared of Rahul's loud voice: Surjewala
Answering the above questions himself, Surjewala said that the Modi government is scared of the unity of the Congress and the loud voice of Rahul. When China occupied our land and our soldiers were martyred, the Prime Minister said, 'No one has entered, no one has come.' Then Rahul was the only leader of the opposition who surrounded the government on this lie.
Congress will not be afraid, will not bow down, but will fight
Surjewala said that Rahul raises his voice in favor of the economy, unemployment, benefiting a few capitalists, opposing the hatred being spread in the country, middle class troubled by inflation, working people, poor, small shopkeepers, small traders who The government doesn't like it. It is because of this that the Modi government is attacking Rahul's fearless and truthful voice through ED, but Congress will not be afraid of it, will not bow down, but will fight.
