Rahul Gandhi gets a day's rest, to be grilled again on Friday


New Delhi, Jun 15 (IANS): After being grilled by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for three consecutive days in connection with the National Herald case, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will not be questioned by the agency on Thursday.

An ED source said the agency will question Rahul Gandhi again on Friday.

"He has been given a day's rest," the source said.

On Tuesday, the three-member team recording his statements questioned Rahul Gandhi till past 10 p.m. following which the Congress leader left the ED headquarters at around 11:45 p.m.

On Monday, his questioning had ended at about 9 p.m. However, since he reportedly wanted to correct a few parts of his statements, he had to wait for a few more hours at the ED headquarters here.

Gandhi was reportedly questioned about a few transactions made by Kolkata-based Dotex Merchandise Pvt Ltd.

Sonia Gandhi, who is presently admitted to the hospital for Covid related health issues, has also been summoned on June 23 in the same case.

    Looks like ED wants to dig records from 1938 and wants Rahul Gandhi answer, what happened then. This ED drama is not new, this case is going for years already. Like it or not, after all this saga, ED will come out and say, Rahul is not cooperating and therefore, must be arrested. As per experts, ED does not even have the juridiction to conduct probe, it comes under entirely another agency. Its saddening to see the misuse of agencies, to throttle opposition voices.

    Think it's the ED who has got a day's rest ! In any case RaGa was not answering anything according to sources. He was tutored something they were asking something.He was also seen mugging something during breaks. Remember former Pak cricket captain Inzy? He did not answer Q's, he spoke what he liked.Same case...

    More or less 70 years congress ruled this country. But never misused government body for personal revenge or political vendetta.
