Today’s protests come amid the questioning of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi and other congressional leaders in the National Herald case. Congress had taken to the streets against the questioning of Gandhis by the enforcement directorate in the case, alleging that the BJP had targeted opposition leaders for raising their voices against the government.
On the other hand, the BJP claims that the protests are nothing but to intimidate the investigative agency and divert people’s attention from the ED heat on the Gandhis.
The investigative agency has also stepped up searches amid the intensified investigation, which Congress opposed.
Last week, Rahul Gandhi was among a number of top leaders who were detained while demonstrations were conducted while Sonia Gandhi was interrogated.
On Thursday, the Rajya Sabha opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge was questioned in the case for more than six hours.
