The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) on Thursday thronged the Raj Bhavan and staged a protest rally against repeated summoning of Congress leaders, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the National Herald case.
Addressing media at the side of the protest, MPCC president Keisham Meghachandra said that summoning of Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi repeatedly by Enforcement Directorate (ED) without any genuine reason is very unfortunate. The Congress target feels that it is an act of using ED as a tool for political gains, he alleged.
He further said that the BJP government should stop misusing such agencies. The Congress Party condemns such action and hence, carried out a protest with an objective to save the unity, integrity and democracy of the country, the MPCC president said.
Meghachandra alleged that charges against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are baseless. As such, questioning them repeatedly without any adequate reason is nothing but an attack with intention, he asserted.
The rally began from Congress Bhawan in the presence of some of the Congress MLAs, Congress members. They shouted slogans such as “Stop Vendetta Politics”, “BJP don’t convert police into terrorist force”, “Only truth will prevail”, etc.
