New Delhi. ‘This was known to Motilal Vora ji.’ Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi gave this answer to all the questions of ED in the National Herald case. Now the question is, why are Sonia and Rahul taking the name of late party leader and treasurer Motilal Vora? Is this an exercise to escape from the clutches of ED? Only the investigating agency can tell better about these questions, but the special thing is that Motilal Vora is no longer in the world. In such a situation, the investigating agency cannot ask him what was his role in the case and why the transaction was done like this.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) interrogated Rahul Gandhi for the first 5 days in the National Herald case. Now the interrogation of Sonia is going on. According to sources in the probe agency, on several questions, Rahul and Sonia have named the late Congress leader. When asked about the transaction between Young Indian Private Limited YIL and Associated Journals Limited AJL, this is the answer given by both the Congress leaders. Both have told ED officials that Motilal Vora was responsible for all financial transactions between YIL and AJL. Let us inform that by paying just Rs 50 lakh, YIL took all the shares of AJL and waived the loan of 90 crores on it.
The shareholders of YIL were Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes. Vora and Fernandes have passed away. In such a situation, the ED is now questioning Sonia and Rahul. ED officials want to know how the money reached from Congress to YIL and then to AJL. Congress leaders say that some amount was given through cash and some through cheque. The ED also wants to know what is being used for the property of AJL which was taken by the Gandhi family under YIL. Apart from this, the investigating agency also wants to know which charity YIL has done and is doing. Because during the UPA government, YIL was given income tax exemption for this purpose.
