Congress is furious after the police registered a new FIR against Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case. The Economic Offenses Wing of Delhi Police has registered a new FIR against 9 people including Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and three companies in the National Herald case. It is alleged that a criminal conspiracy was hatched to grab the assets worth Rs 2000 crore of Associated Journals Limited (AJL) for just Rs 50 lakh.
Many Congress leaders have attacked the new action taken by the police. Congress leader Sandeep Dixit said, “This is a completely fake case. Our lawyers have repeatedly said that there is no case of money laundering anywhere and secondly, it is a non-profit organisation, so where will the profit come from?”
