Cong leaders protest as Rahul set to appear before ED


Rahul Gandhi is set to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday, in connection with a money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper. With the development, several Congress leaders were today detained amid sloganeering in support of the party leader outside the AICC headquarters in Delhi.

A meeting of All India Congress Committee (AICC) General Secretaries, State Incharges, and Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chiefs was called on Thursday to decide the strategy for the same.

Earlier, Congress leader Manickam Tagore said that party workers will hold demonstrations at around 25 offices of the probe agency across the country against the political vendata and the “misuse” of the central investigative agencies by the Central government to “silence the voice of opposition”.
