New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS): The Congress on Tuesday slammed the Centre after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided the official premises of its mouthpiece "The National Herald", in connection with a money laundering case.

Denouncing the Centre and its probe agency, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted:

"The raids on Herald House, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg are a part of the continued attack against India's principal opposition Indian National Congress. We strongly condemn this vendetta politics against those who speak up against the Modi Govt. You cannot silence us."
