National Herald case: Sonia Gandhi to appear before ED for third day today

New Delhi/IBNS: Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi will be appearing before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the third day Wednesday to get quizzed in connection with a money laundering scam linked to the National Herald newspaper.

Gandhi was quizzed for the second time Tuesday.

The Congress leaders including de facto number two Rahul Gandhi and thousands of supporters took to streets to protest against the summoning of the veteran politician.

Several supporters and leaders were also detained following the protest.

What is the case?

The case relates to the ED probe into the alleged financial irregularities between Young Indian and Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), which publishes the National Herald newspaper.

As per the complaint filed in the court of the Metropolitan Magistrate, Associated Journals Limited (AJL) took an interest-free loan of Rs. 90.25 crore from Indian National Congress, which was not paid back.

Congress has maintained there is no money laundering involved and has called the summon a politically motivated move.

According to media reports, Rahul had told the ED during interrogation that late party leader Motilal Vora had overseen all the transactions related to the YI-AJL deal.

It may be noted that Rahul was referring to the acquisition by Young India of Associated Journals Limited's assets worth hundreds of crores from Congress.
