Karnataka: Kharge, DKS slam ED chargesheet against Gandhis

Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Apr 16 (UNI) Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has fiercely criticised the Enforcement Directorate's chargesheet against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case, labeling the charges as politically motivated and baseless.
Speaking to the media here on Wednesday, he said "There is nothing in the case… It was shut down for some time due to financial troubles. Sonia Gandhi tried to revive it with loans and donations. Now, they say that it is wrong to take a loan… BJP is working against the law. What is wrong is wrong, and we will prove it. Our protests will be held nationwide, and we want to tell the people that we are being troubled unnecessarily."
Kharge, who has been at the forefront of the Congress party's defense, further emphasised that there was no wrongdoing in the actions of the Gandhi family regarding the revival of the National Herald newspaper, which was founded by Jawaharlal Nehru.
