NEW DELHI: My name is being highlighted to divert attention from the real issues of the country, Robert Vadra, the brother-in-law of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, said in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Vadra, who was recently questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection to a land grab case, argued that the perception of the people around him is "gradually" changing.

"People of the country gradually realised this Modus n (and) knew there was no truth in any of these allegations. People reach out n (and) show respect n (and) wish me luck n (and) a better future," he wrote as he posted over three dozen photographs of him indulging in various social welfare activities.

In his post, Vadra underlined a series of social welfare work carried out by him and expressed his wish to play a larger role in serving the people once "all these allegations and accusations (against him) are over".


"Disaster managements and sending help to Kerala, Nepal and other places too, were a satisfying n learning experience," he said. Vadra added that his questioning by the investigating agency has been another learning experience for him.


Vadra was questioned by the ED on five occasions in the last few weeks in Jaipur and Delhi. Vadra's appearance before the ED is related to a criminal complaint on allegations of money laundering to purchase assets abroad in an alleged illegal manner.


The ED case against Vadra relates to allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property, located at 12, Bryanston Square and worth 1.9 million pounds, which is allegedly owned by the businessman in a "benami" way.
