Congress’ protest against ED’s action against Rahul Gandhi in National Herald case continues for the third consecutive day. Congress leader Sachin Pilot, who was protesting in support of Rahul Gandhi, was taken into custody by the Delhi Police on Wednesday (June 15, 2022). All the Congress leaders made a ruckus from the Congress office to the ED office. During this, party leaders alleged that they were manhandled and misbehaved with by the Delhi Police.
Meanwhile, Youth Congress President Srinivas Biwi has accused the police of manhandling and abusing party leaders and workers. In a tweet, he said, “This is the biggest proof of bare dancing of Delhi Police brutality by entering AICC Headquarters, Delhi Police’s action along with Punjab Youth Congress colleague Parry Mann will be given a befitting reply in a Gandhian manner.”
At the same time, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala has alleged that at the behest of the Modi government, Delhi Police entered the Congress office and scuffled with party workers and leaders. He said that the Delhi Police, the stigma of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Modi government, has crossed all limits of hooliganism. Whatever did not happen in 75 years, the Modi government’s stoic police did it at the behest of BJP.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said that the policemen entered the office and lathi-charged them. He said that it never happens that by entering a political office, the police lathi-charge, we condemn it. Delhi Police is under the central government, so the center should apologize for this.
The women of Congress demonstrated fiercely outside the Congress office. During this, she clashed with the police. The protesting women activists have been taken into custody by the police. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is being interrogated in the money laundering case related to the National Herald. He is being questioned by the ED for the third consecutive day today.
