Team News Riveting
New Delhi, July 20
The Congress President Gandhi is set to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday in connection with the National Herald case even as her party plans for a massive protest.
The ED had earlier issued summons to Gandhi but it was referred on her health ground. The agency finally set the date for questioning for July 21.
The Congress has decided to hold demonstration across the country to protest against the ED’s action. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the entire Congress party would demonstrate across the country in “a most telling manner” against what he described as political vendetta.
“Tomorrow as the political vendetta unleashed by the Modi-Shah duo against our top leadership continues, the entire Congress party across the country will demonstrate its collective solidarity with Smt. Sonia Gandhi in a most telling manner,” Ramesh said on Twitter.
A meeting of senior party leaders was held at the residence of Mallikarjun Kharge to chalk out the party’s strategy. “The entire Congress family is standing firmly with its President Sonia Gandhi and tomorrow a protest against the dictatorial rule of BJP will be lodged in the whole country,” the party said on its Twitter handle.
Congress leaders and workers will also stage protests outside offices of the Enforcement Directorate in different state capitals, the party leaders said.
