The two leaders were summoned by the June 8 criminal investigation unit into a money laundering case that the party said was closed in 2015.”This is a strange case of money laundering where there is no money. The case is worth more than a packet of cards. We will deal with it. We are not afraid posted a few days ago.
Singhvi said while Sonia Gandhi would appear for questioning, the group would write to the investigation center to find Rahul Gandhi a place to stay. “It is a political, social, economic and legal war,” he said.

“In 2015, the ED closed the National Herald case. But the government did not like it and removed the ED officials involved, brought in new officials and opened a case. This is to curb inflation and other burning problems,” Singhvi said. it said.According to sources, the investigation unit has called on leaders to record their statements under the criminal categories of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

All the leaders of the opposition parties, including Mamata Banerjee and Farooq Abdullah, are under attack by major institutions,” Singhvi said. The ED asked former Union Minister Pawan Bansal and Congressman Mallikarjun Kharge in April about the case. The case relates to allegations of fraud, conspiracy and breach of trust in the seizure of Associated Journals Limited (AJL), which was in charge of Congress, National Herald, by Young Indian Pvt Ltd.
