New Delhi, April 20: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said that the names of Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi were deliberately included in the National Herald charge sheet "under a conspiracy and out of vendetta," according to a party statement. In his opening remarks at the meeting of the party general secretaries, state in-charges and heads of frontal organisations, the Congress president also referred to the timing of the Enforcement Directorate action to attach National Herald properties in Delhi, Lucknow and Mumbai to coincide it with the AICC session at Ahmedabad.
As per the release, the Congress president pointed out, earlier during the Raipur session, that the Modi government had the ED and the CBI raid Congress leaders in an attempt to disrupt the session. He also referred to the sealing of the Congress party's bank accounts just ahead of the General Elections. However, he added, despite all that, the Congress party emerged stronger and doubled its strength in Parliament.
