The Congress party alleged “Misuse of the law enforcement agencies by the BJP led union government and unwarranted and unnecessary summoning of Rahul Gandhi by the Enforcement Directorate, New Delhi in the National Herald” case.
Speaking at the protest, Harmohinder Singh Lucky, the newly appointed president of Chandigarh Congress said, “Modi government has miserably failed to manage the economy of the country. As a result of this, people are forced to bear extreme hardships in their daily lives. Modi government is now trying to implicate Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a false case, just to divert the attention of the people from total failures on all fronts”.
Terming the summoning of Rahul Gandhi by the ED as petty vendetta politics, Lucky said that “a strange case of money laundering is sought to be made out where money is not involved”.
