Daughter-in-law of the most powerful woman in the grip of ED!
Congress president sonia gandhi will appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on July 21 in the National Herald case. Actually, sonia gandhi was supposed to appear in the trial on june 8, but the trial was postponed several times due to her infection with Corona. Sonia Gandhi has decided to attend the hearing on Thursday, July 21, after a fresh summons was issued to sonia gandhi for not attending the hearing.
Sonia Gandhi's son congress leader rahul gandhi was interrogated by the ED several times in June. Interrogated for 55 hours over five days. Now it is questionable how many days sonia gandhi will be questioned.
The congress party has already organized a nationwide protest against the questioning of rahul gandhi at all hours. Now sonia gandhi has also been called for questioning, calling for nationwide protests on July 21. As part of this, a protest will be organized in front of the ED office in Hyderabad. It is reported that all the senior leaders of the party are going to participate in the rally organized from Indira Gandhi's statue on Necklace Road to the ED office.
If the National Herald case comes into precedent... The National Herald was founded by the late indian Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1938. In this along with Nehru, 5000 freedom fighters were shareholders. The journal is run by Associate Journals Limited (AJL). The magazine closed in 2008 due to losses. By the time the journal closed, the number of shareholders had dwindled to 1000.
The congress party has given a loan of Rs. 90 crores to AJL to relaunch the closed National Herald Pratika. However, the magazine did not start. Moreover, the AJL company owes Rs.90 crores to the congress party. In this order, the debt of Rs.90 crores owed to the congress party was transferred to sonia Rahul's Young india Limited (YIL). Insolvent AJL transferred all the shares of the company to YIL in lieu of debts. For this, YIL company paid only Rs.50 lakhs.
Thus, by transferring the entire share of AJL to sonia rahul Gandhi's YIL, YIL also acquired the assets of that company worth Rs.2 thousand crores. There are allegations that this transaction is taking place unilaterally ignoring the other shareholders of AJL... Transferring all the assets of the company for a mere debt of Rs.90 crores.. All this is an illegal transaction. Allegations of money laundering took place in this case.
In 2012, bjp mp Subrahmanyaswamy filed a petition in the delhi court. In the case between AJL and YIL, sonia rahul was accused of money laundering. Moreover, it was alleged that giving a loan of Rs.90 crore to a political party's publication company was illegal. In this context, the Enforcement Directorate is investigating sonia gandhi and Rahul.
